‘Painting gives me happiness’<br />

• By Natalie Pham<br />

AN AWARD-winning Japanese<br />

artist is hoping to connect<br />

people through her third<br />

annual art exhibition.<br />

About 320 brightly coloured<br />

artworks are arranged in a<br />

cross at South Library, with<br />

its symbol representing the<br />

intersection of the past and the<br />

future.<br />

St Albans artist Haruko<br />

Furukawa said the majority of<br />

the artworks came from her<br />

students in New Zealand and<br />

from overseas artists – from<br />

Japan to the United States.<br />

“I painted about 50 artworks,<br />

220 were from my students and<br />

the rest is from many artists.”<br />

Since starting the project<br />

seven years ago, Furukawa<br />

said her only goal was to have<br />

many people participate and<br />

feel connected through the<br />

exhibition.<br />

The avid artist started to paint<br />

many years ago, as a way to deal<br />

with the raw emotion following<br />

her father’s death.<br />

“Then I discovered that<br />

painting gives me happiness,”<br />

she said.<br />

“I knew that I want to make<br />

people all over the world happy<br />

through my works.”<br />

Furukawa then attended<br />

Kyoto Saga Art University<br />

where she learned traditional<br />

Japanese art, and later picked<br />

up Western techniques in<br />

Florence, Italy.<br />

This explains the<br />

incorporation of acrylic and<br />

traditional Japanese materials<br />

into her painting.<br />

Said Furukawa: “My styles<br />

are a combination of Western<br />

and Japanese styles because I<br />

learned both.<br />

“Western colours are deep,<br />

whereas Japanese is more<br />

subtle. So I normally paint with<br />

Japanese colours first, and then<br />

paint with acrylic.”<br />

Furukawa has taken part in<br />

several live painting events and<br />

created murals across the city<br />

since moving to New Zealand<br />

20 years ago.<br />

Her artworks have<br />

also featured in local and<br />

international exhibitions.<br />

Last week, she was among<br />

five artists participating in an<br />

ongoing exhibition at Tūranga<br />

that displays the lives of ethnic<br />

minorities.<br />

Besides teaching art at<br />

her home, Furukawa also<br />

volunteers teaching art at<br />

retirement villages.<br />

Next month, the painter will<br />

collaborate with Shiki Japanese<br />

Music Group for a performance<br />

of live painting and music at the<br />

Arts Centre.<br />

The Big Bang 13 exhibition<br />

will run at South Library until<br />

the end of this month.<br />

SHOW: Awardwinning<br />

Japanese<br />

artist Haruko<br />

Furukawa has<br />

compiled 320<br />

artworks in her<br />

latest exhibition,<br />

Big Bang 13.<br />

The artist also<br />

teaches from home<br />

and in retirement<br />

villages (above).<br />

COLLABORATION: The Imaginarium was built for and by a group<br />

of children aged five to seven over two weeks, along with the<br />

help of parents, caregivers, and a design team The group used<br />

full-size modules to assemble the playground on the last day of<br />

the programme.<br />

Children contribute to high profile award<br />

• By Natalie Pham<br />

THE IDEA of project Place<br />

Cadets was simple – to show the<br />

values of including children in<br />

public space design.<br />

But that simple yet innovative<br />

idea was announced a joint<br />

winner for the category He Iti<br />

Pounamu at the Resene New<br />

Zealand Institute of Landscape<br />

Architects Awards last week.<br />

Judges said the project showed<br />

how children can participate in<br />

design as researchers and creators<br />

of their spaces.<br />

“[We] applauded the approach<br />

which saw tamariki (children)<br />

able to witness their ideas become<br />

a reality and gaining a real<br />

sense of belonging and inspiration<br />

in the process.”<br />

This category was judged using<br />

eight key criteria, including<br />

innovation in planning and<br />

solutions, added value for the<br />

community, effective sustainable<br />

management, influence and<br />

significance.<br />

The idea for the project came<br />

after a discussion between the<br />

Phillipstown Community Centre<br />

Charitable Trust and a design<br />

team from Gather Landscape<br />

Architecture about creating<br />

meaningful engagement with the<br />

community.<br />

Said trust manager Viviana<br />

Zanetti: “We needed to find<br />

a way that allow people to<br />

contribute in a meaningful way.<br />

So we wanted to try something<br />

new.”<br />

So a group of 21 children aged<br />

five to seven participated in a<br />

two-week programme in 2020 to<br />

design and build the playground<br />

Imaginarium.<br />

The name, decided together<br />

with the group, represents the<br />

idea that the playground can be<br />

“anything”.<br />

Lead landscape architect<br />

Wendy Hoddinott said the final<br />

outcome reflected what the<br />

children would like to play in,<br />

not the adults’ assumptions.<br />

The $5000 playground, located<br />

in the Phillipstown Community<br />

Hub, was assembled by the<br />

group, parents and caregivers on<br />

the last day of the programme.<br />

Funding was sought and<br />

granted by city council, Hamptons<br />

in Ferry Rd, the Lions Club<br />

Ferrymead and the Christchurch<br />

Rotary Club.<br />

The project, along with Te<br />

Raekura Redcliffs School and He<br />

Puna Taimoana Hot Pools, were<br />

three landscape architecture<br />

works in Christchurch that<br />

received a reward this year.<br />

The new primary school was<br />

a joint winner in Education<br />

and Play, while the city councilowned<br />

facility in New Brighton<br />

received the Award of Excellence<br />

in the category Park, Open<br />

Spaces and Recreation.<br />

The Harcourts Geraldine Festival,<br />

featuring the Alpine Energy Art<br />

Exhibition and Awards, is delighted<br />

to be returning after a hiatus during<br />

COVID, with plenty in store for<br />

everyone to enjoy at this year’s event.<br />

The Festival opens on the evening of<br />

Thursday 10th November with the<br />

Alpine Energy Art Awards, marking<br />

the 25th year that Alpine Energy<br />

has supported and sponsored the<br />

exhibition. We will be celebrating this<br />

important silver anniversary in style<br />

that evening with refreshments and<br />

nibbles, and awards announcements,<br />

plus the first chance to view and<br />

purchase art. Everyone is welcome.<br />

Friday gives way to the busy and vibrant<br />

street market in the centre of Geraldine,<br />

with local favourites OJ and the Drama<br />

Queens entertaining the crowds.<br />

Saturday is the main event, when the<br />

peaceful Geraldine Domain becomes<br />

a bustling hub for a day as stalls, food<br />

trucks, kids’ entertainment, and live music<br />

blend to create a great family day out.<br />

Our open gardens are a hugely popular<br />

part of the festival, and most are open<br />

Friday through to Sunday, giving<br />

everyone a chance enjoy them at<br />

their leisure. There are also a range of<br />

complementary events taking place in<br />

and around Geraldine that weekend,<br />

including vintage car displays and rides,<br />

book-a-rama, Soul Food Concert and<br />

much more.<br />

Make the most of spring <strong>2022</strong> and join us for a<br />

fabulous Harcourts Geraldine Festival <strong>2022</strong>.<br />

I’ve already noticed tinsel draped across<br />

shop windows and advent calendars for<br />

sale, so you know that we’re getting to the<br />

business end of the year. It’s also a great time<br />

to connect with community groups and one<br />

of my favourite places to visit is Hōhepa.<br />

Hōhepa regularly features in my diary,<br />

whether it’s to give a talk about politics,<br />

discuss their own representative elections<br />

or to check out the wonderful art, it never<br />

disappoints and I know it won’t be long<br />

before I’m stepping onto their lovely<br />

grounds again.<br />

Another regular event that I find extremely<br />

valuable is a catch up with the many<br />

vicars and church representatives spread<br />

throughout the electorate. They share<br />

my deep passion and concern for the<br />

community and the welfare of all those<br />

who live within. It is always interesting to<br />

hear their thoughts and suggestions to our<br />

collective challenges.<br />

I love a good market so it’s always a pleasure<br />

to pop into the South Christchurch Farmers<br />

Market at South Christchurch Library on<br />

a Sunday. I might be biased but the fresh<br />

produce is some of the best on offer in<br />

Christchurch, as are the other artisanal<br />

products, and the atmosphere is always<br />

friendly and fun.<br />

Speaking of fun atmospheres, I was lucky<br />

enough to attend the opening night of the<br />

Cashmere High School’s production of Jesus<br />

Christ Superstar at the end of September.<br />

There were some stellar performances and<br />

my sincere congratulations go to all the<br />

talented cast, Shaun, Bianca and the rest of<br />

the crew.<br />

You may have seen in the news that I<br />

have organised a Woolston Community<br />

Safety Meeting, which will take place on<br />

31 <strong>October</strong> from 5 – 6pm at the Woolston<br />

Library, 689 Ferry Road. The safety of<br />

Woolston residents is of paramount<br />

importance and I am in regular contact with<br />

local police, but we also want input from<br />

members of the community. This meeting<br />

will give residents the opportunity to raise<br />

specific safety concerns with myself, police<br />

and your local elected members. I encourage<br />

all those interested to attend.<br />

Well beyond Banks Peninsula, a volatile<br />

global environment continues to put<br />

pressure on prices. New Zealand has fared<br />

relatively well though; inflation eased in the<br />

last quarter and we have lower inflation rates<br />

than the majority of the OECD, including<br />

the UK, Europe and the US. We can’t escape<br />

the global pressures, but we are in a good<br />

position to respond. With the Government’s<br />

books among the best in the world and<br />

Christmas holidays on the horizon, there is<br />

plenty for us to be optimistic about.<br />

Students design fourth river footbridge<br />

CANTERBURY University<br />

students are working with<br />

city council staff to design a<br />

fourth pedestrian bridge for the<br />

Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor.<br />

Seven civil engineering and<br />

fine arts students are working<br />

on concept drawings for the<br />

new Dallington bridge. This<br />

footbridge will be situated near<br />

Robson Ave and will provide the<br />

final, vital river crossing for the<br />

future City to Sea Pathway.<br />

City council<br />

head of parks,<br />

Andrew Rutledge<br />

says the third<br />

and fourth-year<br />

students have been<br />

Andrew<br />

Rutledge<br />

provided with the<br />

dimensions, budget<br />

and the cultural<br />

narrative of the<br />

area, and are being encouraged<br />

to explore ways to incorporate<br />

sustainability into their design.<br />

“This is a great example<br />

of finding ways that we can<br />

involve the community<br />

in the development of the<br />

Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor<br />

Regeneration Area,” Rutledge<br />

said.<br />

“The students are very motivated<br />

and are already looking<br />

at how they can use recycled<br />

materials in the design, as well<br />

as different ways to portray the<br />

cultural narrative for the area.”<br />

Third-year civil engineering<br />

student Giselle Dousti said being<br />

involved in a project that had<br />

real-world application was an<br />

opportunity she couldn’t pass up.<br />

“It’s really exciting to work on<br />

something in real life, and it’s<br />

been a great opportunity to work<br />

with the fine arts students on<br />

how we can bring their creative<br />

ideas to life,” she said.<br />

The students will check in with<br />

the city council’s red zone team<br />

as their designs progress.<br />

Mana whenua and key groups<br />

will review and provide feedback<br />

on the concepts. City council<br />

staff will then undertake cost<br />

and concept reviews, then incorporate<br />

structural requirements<br />

and safety standards, and finalise<br />

the design.<br />

Construction of the bridge<br />

is scheduled to begin in winter<br />

2023. It will open in time for<br />

next summer.<br />

A TRUSTED FAMILY<br />

BUSINESS FOR<br />

OVER 47 YEARS<br />

For the past 45 years Rob Kendall has<br />

been selling beds and furniture<br />

from the family business at 233<br />

Stanmore Road, Richmond and<br />

for the past 20 years working<br />

alongside his wife Alison.<br />

The family business has been<br />

in operation since 1975 and<br />

was officially purchased by Rob<br />

and Alison earlier this year. They<br />

maintain they will continue operating<br />

from the site and providing the same<br />

excellent service their customers have come<br />

to expect.<br />

Richmond Discount Furniture, dubbed by a<br />

customer as “the best little furniture shop in<br />

town”, is a place where customers enjoy popping<br />

in on a regular basis to find themselves a bargain,<br />

with items normally priced well below other retail<br />

stores, Alison says.<br />

Due to their long-term relationship with many of<br />

the local bed manufacturers, Rob and Alison are<br />

able to source some great factory specials for their<br />

customers, along with a wide selection of new and<br />

factory-redundant bed and mattress sets.<br />

“We also have a good<br />

selection of both<br />

imported and<br />

locally made<br />

bedroom furniture,<br />

entertainment units, coffee<br />

tables, dining tables and chairs,<br />

and anything else we can get<br />

our hands on,” Rob says.<br />

“By calling in on a regular basis<br />

you are sure to find yourself a<br />

bargain!”<br />

Parking is never an issue, with the<br />

option of parking at the front door on<br />

Stanmore Rd, or in the yard behind the shop,<br />

with the entrance off Draper Street, which is<br />

shared with Richmond Fruit & Vege.<br />

Richmond Discount Furniture offers local<br />

delivery for a minimal charge, but customers<br />

are more than welcome to pick up their<br />

purchases, which are easily collected using<br />

the yard at the back of the shop.<br />

Rob and Alison have enjoyed the friendships<br />

they have created with so many of their<br />

customers over the years. They would like<br />

to thank all their customers for their continued<br />

support of this small family business as they look<br />

forward to continuing to offer up the best deals<br />

alongside the best service moving forward.<br />

Richmond Discount Furniture is open Monday to<br />

Friday, 10am-4.30pm and Saturday, 10am-1pm.<br />

Phone them on (03) 389 0536 or find them on<br />

Quick, easy meals for one person<br />

If you enjoy the<br />

taste of Asian<br />

flavours this Thai<br />

chicken curry is sure<br />

to please<br />

Quick Thai chicken curry<br />

for one<br />

Serves 1<br />

Ingredients<br />

2 tsp tice bran oil<br />

1 chicken breast, skinless, sliced<br />

1 small onion, sliced<br />

2 tsp Thai green curry paste<br />

2 tbsp water<br />

165gm coconut milk, or coconut<br />

cream<br />

1 to serve lime, halved<br />

Directions<br />

Heat a frying pan, add oil and<br />

pan-fry skinless chicken breast,<br />

trimmed and sliced for 5min to<br />

brown on both sides. Remove to<br />

one side. Add sliced onion to the<br />

pan and stir-fry to lightly brown.<br />

Add curry paste and gently fry<br />

for 1min to release flavours.<br />

Add water and mix until<br />

smooth, then stir in the coconut<br />

milk or cream.<br />

Return chicken to the pan and<br />

simmer very gently (do not allow<br />

to boil) for 5min, stirring often.<br />

Stir in fresh coriander and<br />

serve with lime wedges on the<br />

side to squeeze over.<br />

The curry should not need<br />

any salt and pepper as the curry<br />

paste is full of strong flavours.<br />

Don’t allow the mixture to boil<br />

once the coconut milk has been<br />

added or the sauce may separate.<br />

Steak with whisky<br />

mushroom sauce<br />

Serves 1<br />

Ingredients<br />

1 beef steaks, thick eye fillet or<br />

scotch fillet<br />

½ tbsp olive oil<br />

2 Spring onions, finely chopped<br />

100g button mushrooms, finely<br />

sliced<br />

1 tbsp whisky, scotch<br />

1 Oxo cube dissolved in<br />

¼ cup water<br />

1 tbsp cream<br />

Sprinkle thyme<br />

Directions<br />

Bring the steak to room temperature<br />

well before cooking<br />

and sprinkle with a little salt and<br />

pepper.<br />

Heat a heavy frying pan, then<br />

add the oil.<br />

Once it starts smoking, add the<br />

steak and cook for 2-3 minutes on<br />

each side. Remove them to a plate<br />

and cover with foil.<br />

Reduce the heat and add the<br />

onion, stirring to lift any meat<br />

residue off the bottom of the pan.<br />

Toss them around for a minute<br />

or two, then add the mushrooms<br />

and thyme.<br />

Once the mushrooms soften,<br />

add the whisky. The alcohol may<br />

ignite and flare up, but it will<br />

quickly subside.<br />

Add the stock and allow<br />

the sauce to bubble and thicken.<br />

Finally, stir in the cream, then<br />

return the steaks to the pan and<br />

cook for another minute.<br />

Serve on heated plate, spooning<br />

juice.<br />

Toss everything together and<br />

warm through on low heat.<br />

2 large eggs, lightly beaten<br />

¼ tsp sesame oil<br />

2 tbsp self-raising flour<br />

1 clove garlic, crushed<br />

1-2 tbsp rice bran oil<br />

Directions<br />

lengthwise, then cut into 5cm<br />

lengths. Cut chilli into 5mm<br />

rounds.<br />

Whisk water, eggs, sesame<br />

oil and flour together in a large<br />

bowl, until smooth. Add vegetables,<br />

chilli and garlic. Mix<br />

well. Heat half the rice bran oil in<br />

a non-stick frying pan. Add half<br />

the vege mixture and pat down<br />

evenly.<br />

Loosely cover and cook on<br />

medium heat for about 2min,<br />

until the underside is golden. Flip<br />
