Cloud of Dust
First make dust — then let it settle! Concrete cutters produce both, noise and dust. Then it’s time to dowse with water.

Tuku Iho (Robert Jahnke, 2015)
A cube of one-way mirror glass and neon letters by Robert Jahnke at Corban Estate Arts Centre in their exhibition “Nga aho taruarua” (on until July 17, 2016).
From the exhibition notes:
Neon and one way mirrored glass are utilised in Tuku Iho (2015), resulting in a repetition of words that appears infinite and disappears into a void of darkness. The work captures the Maori notion of the emergence of the world of light from the darkness of Te Po. Jahnke says the words can be translated as ‘to bequeath,’ conveying the Maori concept of eternity; “it is an expression that is often associated with taonga – taonga tuku iho -referring to a treasured or prized possession handed down to the current generation by ancestors”.
Cabbage Trees (Cordyline Australis)

In the Green Room
At the beginning of the month, Lopdell House opened its doors to show the refurbished facilities. While the theatre was not quite ready, the green room was resplendent with smoke and mirrors and lamps, enough to get lost in.
Note: The Upstairs Gallery is now back at the Lopdell House, their first show in the new premises opened on Thursday (“Spiritual Terrain” – paintings by Terry Prince.)
