What's On: |
| Littoral Drift/ 5 Wanganui artists |
| Opening Friday 20 Jan 2012 in the Percy Thomson Gallery, Stratford – Littoral Drift - an exhibition of works by five Wanganui based artists
Jen Dickie, Deb Frederikse, Sue James, Fiona Mc Gowan,
and Felicity Priest, who all draw inspiration from the distinctive physical features of this coastline.
The striking landscape of the South Taranaki coast has pulled together a show by five Wanganui artists.
The coastline from Kai Iwi to Hawera hasn't had a lot of vocal admirers. "It's a little remote, rough and wild, and perhaps hasn't been as obvious to tourists," said artist Deb Frederikse.
