We’re all busy creating art for our next exhibition

We’re currently creating new work for Airborne, an upcoming exhibition at Artē Collective.

Airborne invites viewers into moments of suspension and ascent: still summer skies, gliding wings, paper planes defying gravity, and forms that test gravity’s pull. Across painting, ceramics and sculpture, the exhibition explores flight as wonder, rebellion, biomimicry and the delicate tension between freedom and inevitability.

Working across our respective disciplines, each artist has considered the title and interpreted it to suit. Sophie Melville, Jenny Chisholm and Lizzie Carruthers are all painting, Sue Rutherford is making ceramics and both Briar Hardy-Hesson and Andi Regan are making sculptural pieces.

Together, as New Zealand artists based in Wānaka, we are exploring both the physical and metaphorical dimensions of flight: aspiration, fragility, tension, release and freedom. Some works may feel weightless and open; others acknowledge gravity’s steady insistence. Between them lies that charged space where lift becomes possible.

Please join us for the opening night party on Thursday March 26, 4pm-7pm. We look forward to sharing Airborne with you !
