Sarah's sculptural works are intricate and enigmatic pieces that each tell a tale of their own. Join our exciting Opening Day! Sunday the 21st July 11am to 1pm, come along and marvel at these amazing monsters. In her last exhibition Sarah's was a sell-out show. Clearly she is an emerging Artist that is one to follow. Don't miss your chance to see this wonderful 4 week exhibition held in our beautiful Whakaaturanga Gallery.

Monsters
In my early teens I bought tickets to a concert by Dunedin band The Chills. I didn’t really know the band then, I was just curious to see live music. At the risk of showing my age, the tickets came with a free cassingle that contained a song The Male Monster From the Id. Intrigued, I got the dictionary out to learn what the Id was.
noun
psychoanalysis
1. the part of the mind in which innate instinctive impulses and primary processes are manifest: Compare with ego and superego.
“the conflict between the drives of the id and the demands of the cultural superego”

That spontaneous decision to go to a concert planted a seed that still occupies a precious place in my mind. I not only developed a love for The Chills that has endured, I also retained a curiosity about the concept of the Id. Whenever I am asked to articulate what my artistic inspiration is I drift back to that moment in my childhood bedroom listening to a song that opened my mind to new ideas and deeper thoughts about the monsters that dwelt within.
Artist Bio
Sarah’s sculptural works are intricate and enigmatic pieces that each tell a tale of their own. They are, by her own admission, strange but friendly creatures that clamber out of unknown places in her mind.
Sarah works out of her studio in Te Aroha and has a Diploma of Art & Craft from Hungry Creek. This is her third exhibition with the Morrinsville Gallery.

Opening Day: Sunday 21st July – 11 AM to 1PM
