Jane McCulla presents three interconnected forms in her work. Her nautical-themed pieces reference worn jetties, the passage of time, and rhythms of arrival and departure. A cartographic element depicts specific places and navigation — where “X” marks the destination. Two-sided vessels evoke weathering systems and landscape forces, reflecting the slow processes that shape both land and human experience.
Beverley Frost paints moments inspired by places close to her heart. An old map at her bach in Wainui sparked reflections on the familiar coastline and the edges where sea meets sky. Sitting and observing the changing weather and abundant flora and fauna of the Peninsula, she translates these impressions onto paper and canvas. Her paintings capture fleeting moments often overlooked, inviting viewers to experience the subtle rhythms of this remarkable landscape.
Janie Porter reflects on the rugged terrain as a place layered with ancient and modern stories. Her works consider 800 years of human activity on cratered slopes, intertwined with wind, birds, and ever-shifting seas. Through her lens, the Peninsula becomes a narrative of natural forces and human history, revealing both striking beauty and quiet reflection.
