The exhibition is by Christchurch artist Janna VanHasselt, the winner of last year’s Zonta Ashburton Female ArtAward, and pushes the boundaries on earthenware objects. Some 30 metres of linkedceramic workssit on ashelf that is just out of the reach of the viewer. The worksare setagainst ahandpainted background of fluorescent pink and grey, which helps draw you to the snaking rainbow installation. Janna Van Hasselt said she worked intuitively and rather than usesketches, let the clayguide her. She was aprint makerbytraining, but enjoyedworking with ceramics and hadused 200kg of clay on the Chromasill exhibition and countless glazes. The workshas been completed over abusy threemonth period. She had been influenced by everyday things in her life, including her two children, playground equipment, body parts andthe tensionthatfeatured in everyone’s life. ‘‘I want people to interpret items for themselves. ‘‘The objects don’t always interact as might be expected and Ihope that people can handle all that is going on with the installation.’’ The workshavebeencompleted by hand and include the odd brush mark, hand prints madebythe artist’schildrenand other imperfections. JannaVan Hasselt will speak about her exhibition at an artist talkatthe gallery on March 21 at 2pm. Chromasill runs until April 26. Artist Janna Van Hasselt works on setting up her ceramic installation Chromasill.

Speakingatlast week’s councilmeeting, chiefexecutive HamishRiach said the square upgrade had becomealigned with the new libraryand civiccentreproject. Because there was asignificant amount of coordination and overlap,itwas considered prudenttoinclude the governance of Baring Square into the termsofreference of the projectcontrol group. He saidthe project control groupwould continue to report back to counciland would be wound up when projects were completed. Councillor Lynette Lovettsaid she waskeen to keep themomentumofthe projectsgoing and working in together and believed the termsofreference should be amended. Councillors RodgerLetham andLeen Braam saidthey believed therewas no problemincombining governance. Cr AngusMcKay was not so sure and said the project group would be expandingits powers. The boundariesofthe projectswere not connected,hesaid. He believedoversightofBaringSquare East should remain withcouncil. Cr Carolyn Cameron agreed with him saying eachproject was aseparate ‘‘deal’’. The square was not abuilding and the two should sit under different umbrellas.
