• HAVE YOUR SAY: Should
speed limits be reduced
from 50km/h to 40km/h
in parts of Scarborough

“While many road users in
these areas already travel below
the current speed limit, implementing
a lower limit will help
those unfamiliar with the area to
understand the safe and appropriate
speed.”
“Scarborough and Taylors
Mistake in particular attract large
numbers of visitors to the beaches
and walkways over the summer
months and this will help to
signpost and reinforce safe driver
behaviour.”
The city council has
implemented a number of slow
speed neighbourhoods over the
past five years and will continue
to prioritise the initiative, Thomas
said.
The deadline for submissions is
December 5.

Five artists combine for our new group exhibition ‘Sum of the Parts’
November 27 - December 14; on show for a shorter duration to allow
for all-important Christmas pickup opportunities.
Contributing artists are Christchurch Kara Burrowes and local Little
River sculptor Jane Downes. Jasmine Keir’s studio is in Kerikeri, just up
the road from Dave Green in Rawene, and Debra Powell is from the
rural Waikato hamlet of Te Pahu.
Kara Burrowes is an artist and designer based in Christchurch. Her work
is tactile and experimental. Using recycled wood from demolition sites, she loves
the concept of transforming something quite ordinary into something precious and
alluring. “Through reinterpretation I like to create a new language, often through the
use of pattern and repetition, method and process.”
Debra Powell’s alias in the pottery studio is ‘Little Betty’. Her ceramic work has
strong narrative themes, exploring relationships between people and nature, playing
with convention, and infusing the result with a gentle humour.
Oxidized copper artist Jasmine Keir endeavours to create and understand the
alchemy of colours achievable via her artistic process; one which uses a variety of
natural ingredients to react with and manipulate the finish of her copper works.
Dave Green creates whimsical arrangements; ‘Lightshifter’ sculptures. His art is about changing the form
and shape of found, often discarded, objects - both natural and manmade. Reborn out of pre-loved glass
and crystal, some are lighting devices others are designed to hang in the light.
Sculptor Jane Downes’ delicate themes are fabricated in steel. ‘Arboresque’ a study of tree forms, an
observation of nature’s sacred geometry.”
