Alert
Level 2
⚠ Important Update
Kia ora tātou
As with all regions outside of Auckland, Stratford is once again back to Alert Level 2.
We have been planning for operations under Alert Level 2 and are ready to continue safely welcoming you to the gallery during this time.
He is what we ask of you and what we will do for you:
1. If you are sick, please stay home and visit another time.
2. Please observe the physical distancing and hygiene behaviour you have become familiar with earlier the year.
3. You should keep track of where you have been and who you were with. For your records, please either check in using our Ministry of Health COVID Tracing QR code, otherwise we have a manual register for those not wishing to use the QR codes.
4. The Gallery will continue to maintain a rigorous cleaning regime, with frequent sanitisation of all high contact surfaces.
5. We will update you if there are any changes or if the Gallery has to close.
As last time, the Gallery in general remains OPEN for business but we will be limiting entry to a maximum of 20 people to ensure safe 2m distancing. If this number is reached we will operate a one-out-one-in door policy.
We are very sad to once again implement this policy, however it is the right thing to do as we redouble our efforts to prevent any possible spread of COVID-19 in our community.

Journey of Discovery
Vicky Taylor
September 18 – 11 October 2020
Gallery 2
Vicky Taylor spends hours burning wood to create striking artworks filled with depth, detail and emotion.
Pyrography means ‘writing with fire. It is the art of decorating wood or other materials with burn marks resulting from the controlled application of a heated object such as a poker. It is also known as pokerwork or wood burning.
Vicky’s love of pyrography and the resulting creativity has allowed her to come to terms with crippling bouts of depression.
‘I lose myself in my art and the process becomes mindful meditation that brings me into the present moment. It has got me through some pretty rough patches and I am thankful for that.’
