Whispers

inform, High Street, Christchurch. May 2008. Ajr

When I was wandering around the city this morning I saw this terrific interplay of light, colour, form and reflection at inform, a classy little High Street gallery featuring contemporary New Zealand jewellery - a den of inspired craftsmanship. The window display is a work called “Whispers” by Wanganui glass artist, Katie Brown of the Chronicle Glass Studio. Chronicle, a co-operative of three glass artists – Katie Brown, Lyndsay Patterson and Karen Ellet – is so named because it occupies the historic printing press annex of the old Wanganui Chronicle Newspaper building in the Old Town Precinct, just up from the Wanganui River. www.chronicleglass.co.nz www.informjewellery.co.nz
