Very EXCITED about the Cornelia Parker show at Two Rooms gallery. We went along to the opening tonight and it was delightful to see a snippet of her work in the flesh. I have just borrowed the above images from the Two rooms website- they are not exactly what was on show. There was a trumpet rendered in the same way that the silver teapot is (pictured). One in tact and one squashed- I was quite taken with this piece- pure elegance!
I liked the series of smaller works also- wire drawings very subtle but still in there own way captivating and then there was, I don't know the official word for it, but paper folded and then opened up to reveal prints- but done with snake venom and antidote- black and white in coloring these were quite special (please forgive me if I have not quite got the details of these works correct)
A really nice surprise, so often the 'B' list artist is like the wind beneath the wings, was the up stairs show by Joachim Bandau, with a series of mesmerising water colours. I really like them. Very delicate. I have not come across this artists work before but I am certainly intrigued to find out some more.
So all and all a show well worth visiting! On till the 11 of April at Two Rooms gallery, 16 Putiki Street, Newton.

I just got in from an exciting day shooting our pieces in the studio. I really love doing this and seeing our work in the crisp studio. Tony our photographer is such a great guy that really wants to do the best he can for you- making sure the lighting is perfect- lighting lights can be quite tricky. Thanks to Dad and Paul who transported the table in and out and thanks to Kylie for being the best assistant as well as taking these wonderful snaps. Lastly thanks to Jafa for there wonderful tuna nicoise and ceasar that we had to celebrate after.
