And Goodnight To You....

Christchurch. March 2009. Ajr

I think I caught the last minutes of James Oram’s work “Good Night” in that miniature inner city exhibition space, The Kiosk. I like the meeting of all the reds – the car, the rear building dome, Oram’s work in the fore ground (false teeth plates?) and Christchurch sculptor Phil Price’s large permanent work in the background. You can see other works I’ve photographed in this unique exhibition facility by clicking on The Kiosk or The Physics Room in the label line below; and The Physics Room website also has photographs of many of the previous Kiosk works. www.physicsroom.org.nz

Floating Your Boat

"See Change" James Oram. September 2008. Ajr

Now this is one SCAPE 2008 work that I LOVE!!!

And this one WAS almost a poetic experience.

Christchurch-based James Oram has sent this life-sized boat 'sky-high.'

It's totally unexpected; it defies all our expectations of what we ought to see on the skyline; and it speaks somehow to ambitious dreams and fantastic childhood imaginings. Factor in a crane and I'm won over! I think it's my favourite Scape work - for others works I've photographed so far, click on 'Scape Biennial' in the below tag line. www.scapebiennial.org.nz
