A Heart for Valentines
Detail from a sculpture by Audrey Boyle “The knot not and the not now” at the “headland Sculpture on the Gulf” exhibition, Waiheke. A fun installation (its cryptic title notwithstanding), as viewers are invited to play with the ‘fence’, adding or removing knots, leading to ever new incarnations of the concept. Not sure what the (fabric covered) raw material was, but it had great tactile qualities.
The sculpture formed part of a research project by Aydrey Boyle at Unitec.
The headland exhibition will end tomorrow, Sunday, February 15.

The Rooster (Jeff Thomson)
One of the works in the pavilion of the “headland Sculpture on the Gulf” exhibition. Jeff Thomson is best known for his corrugated iron sculptures, but his practice encompasses quite a bit more. This rooster, resplendent in red, is certainly an eye-catcher.

Lookout - Pacific Radiolaria (Virginia King)
One more item from the Headland Sculpture on the Gulf exhibition. This suspended stainless steel structure is entitled Lookout – Pacific Radiolaria, by Virginia King. Diameter: 2 metres.
Throw Away Fix (Brett Oakes)
From the Headland Sculpture on the Gulf exhibition on Waiheke Island. An extra large coffee to go overlooks the waters of the Waitemata Harbour. In the distance top right one recognizes the silhouette of Rangitoto Island, and with a lot of imagination one can imagine the Sky Tower more or less in the centre.
Throw Away Fix is a sculpture by Brett Oakes.

Taking on the Gnomes
These two shiny gnomes are by Gregor Kregar (we have seen his Immersive Echo yesterday, and his flock of cornered sheep at the TSB Bank Wallace Art Centre). They are entitled “Reflective Lullaby”.
Made from marine grade stainless steel, they will set you back NZD 20,000 a piece. At Headlands Sculpture on the Gulf on Waiheke Island (January 28 to February 20).
Part of the enjoyment of art exhibitions is “people watching”. In the solemn setting of museums, this has to be practiced with due restraint. By contrast, open-air events can be much more in your face, camera at the ready.

Immersive Echo by Gregor Kregar at Cable Bay Vineyards
At the end of our walk through the Headland Sculpture on the Gulf exhibition the clouds finally disappeared completely, and as we sat down at the Cable Bay Vineyards we enjoyed a briliant afternoon. The vineyard itself also hosted a small sculpture show, amongst them this glistening work by Gregor Kregar, entitled “Immersive Echo” (we have previously shown his flock of cornered sheep at the TSB Bank Wallace Art Centre).
