Every shipwreck has a story to tell, and every shipwreck is undergoing a fundamental transformation. With artworks and stories by Neil Johnstone and poetry by Janis Freegard, this exhibition is a meditation on those strange, liminal spaces that continue to fascinate, alchemise and promise long-lost treasures.
Neil’s work has been created over the course of 15 years – some of it before migrating from Scotland to New Zealand eight years ago but most of it since. This will be the first viewing of all the pieces and poems. The artworks will all be for sale to take away at the end of the exhibition, for what Neil’s wife considers a very reasonable price :D
In addition to the exhibition itself, there is a collaborative limited-edition book of poetry, stories and art.
