Niche Textile Studio and The River come together for an exhibition celebrating our locally made pieces.

We are two Wellington based makers that are concerned with handcrafting quality objects. We share an appreciation of craft with our respective materials (wood and wool) and are interested in their complementary nature.

Both practices, design and make small runs and bespoke pieces to fully utilise locally sourced materials and avoid overproduction. Through this conscious design process we can remain nimble, experimental and engaged makers.

The New Zealand School of Music - Te Kōkī, is pleased to present 'Music From Her' to celebrate, support and encourage diverse voices of women working in music in New Zealand, in the year of the 125th anniversary of women’s suffrage in New Zealand.

In this exhibition, six female sound artists from New Zealand and abroad will showcase their compositions and installations at the Thistle Hall Gallery from 9 – 14 October.

Featuring:

Kaori (1983, Japan) is an artist who works mainly with painting and drawing.

Always fascinated by the representation of the female form and mind, she takes her inspiration in the ordinary life around her to find and portray the extraordinary.

Since she moved to New-Zealand in 2016, she has been profoundly inspired by the culture, the nature and, above all, the people in her everyday. She is now excited to share her artwork with the community and humbly hopes to give back some of the inspiration she received from the people of Wellington.

Our exhibition plays with the conflict between the realm of accepted society and the battle with our own unique personalities that stretch beyond these confines. The artworks pry into the concept of group dynamics and the individual, to assumptions about reality and how the lone soul is woven into a culture of societal expectations.
