COME CHECK OUT OUR SHOWROOM 99 FERRY RD, CHRISTCHURCH News PICTURESQUE: Akaroa is becoming increasingly popular with cruise ships. Akaroa rates highly with cruise ship visitors PICTURESQUE Akaroa has been named among New Zealand and Australia’s top-three cruise destinations in the annual TripAdvisor Cruise Critic Cruisers’ Choice Awards. It sees Akaroa voted ahead of all other New Zealand cruise destinations for the 2017-2018 season, taking out third place in the passenger reviewrating based awards. “This award shows that visitors are clearly enjoying the wonderfully warm Akaroa visitor experience and that’s a big credit to the Akaroa community,” said ChristchurchNZ destination manager Caroline Blanchfield. “Akaroa has stepped up to take on the lion’s share of Christchurch and Canterbury’s cruise destination since the Christchurch earthquakes, which has been great for the village, in spite of the added strain on the infrastructure there,” she said. Akaroa, Tauranga and Wellington were named in the top-five of the Top Rated Australia and New Zealand Cruise Destinations category, with Sydney taking first place. Ms Blanchfield said the impact of cruise ships visiting Canterbury ports had positive benefits for the regional economy. “Close to 50 per cent of cruise passengers return to a cruise destination they enjoyed for a longer holiday,” she said. New Zealand Cruise Association chief executive Kevin O’Sullivan said the award affirmed the value of cruise tourism to New Zealand.

I have always been fascinated by trying to visualise human nature, who are we, what drives us, what moves us, and my personal experiences were more than enough to explore. A trilogy to allow myself to create a deeper narrative to be more universal and existential rather than being just about me. I chose ‘The Anatomy of Melancholy’ because I feel that it best represents my work and the person I am. Part 1 is about identity because to me it is the source of melancholy and so that is where the trilogy needs to start. It shows drawings, paintings and small objects. Generally the work on show deals with the desire to belong, to be allowed to be, through confirmation of our fellow beings, and of getting damaged in the process. There are two separate sections within the exhibition: ‘Little Sorrows’ and ‘Intimacies’ Little Sorrows Our pets contribute to our identity. Inevitably having a pet also means that the day will come we have to farewell it ‘Little Sorrows’ is what can happen when we can’t let go and try to either recreate the friend we were so fond of or make an effort in taxidermy to preserve through small paintings of mice, hamsters and goldfish and faux taxidermy objects, mainly in ‘museum boxes’ and under bell jars. Intimacies (Explicit content) Sexual identity is the way we think of ourselves in relationship to whom we are romantically or sexually attracted to. Growing up in a Catholic environment sexuality was definitely not a topic of discussion or acknowledged as an important part of being. This is the reason I have made these paintings so small, they fit in a locket and can therefore be ‘locked away’ only to be enjoyed in a private atmosphere. Part 1 Identity August 2018, Part 2 Dissectum April 2019 and Part 3 Lost and Found November 2019. All shown at Little River Gallery.
