Little River Gallery will be presenting works by two artists, Emma Milburn and Jacqueline<br />
Morren in their new exhibition ‘Mixed Two’ from this Saturday September 2nd. They are<br />
bringing together different geographical cultures, using different media and materials,<br />
both with a strong environmental focus from the manmade and natural world. Their work<br />
is fabricated by using old traditional techniques yet with a contemporary edge.<br />
Emma Milburn’s paintings depict elements that are influenced by the natural environment<br />
of remote and isolated South Island wilderness areas and her interaction within this. As a<br />
Wilderness Search Dog handler and Visual Tracker, Emma is acutely tuned in to analyse<br />
detail along with the ‘big picture’.<br />
Colour, shape, shine, shadow, contours,movement and<br />
texture influence Emma’s abstract painting style.<br />
”The juxtaposition between my experiences of wilderness,<br />
and an urban environment of playing and writing music also<br />
bring an awareness of the interaction between space, time<br />
and repetition.”<br />
‘Monowai’ original painting<br />
by Emma Milburn from<br />
the exhibition ‘Mixed Two’<br />
at Little River Gallery from<br />
September 2nd<br />
For Jacqueline Morren this body of work is a new direction.<br />
She sets herself a big challenge to sculpt without training or<br />
access to technical tools. At times this has resulted in her<br />
having to create her own implements, to aid the stretching &<br />
curving of the silver out of one piece, without the use of soldering.<br />

‘Punctuated Equilibrium’<br />
from the exhibition ‘Mixed<br />
Two’ at Little River Gallery<br />
from September 2nd<br />
“Maker’s marks are left intentionally; I have no inclination towards smooth perfection. I<br />
love discovering the magical combination of metals & Jade until it feels right, usually after a<br />
long process. This enables the wonderful greenstone to come to life, to its fullest potential.”<br />
The artwork is layered with era’s bygone, present and anticipated future innovation.<br />
The exhibition is running from 2nd until 27th September. For more information, please visit www.littlerivergallery.com<br />
