This show comprises of a selection of works from the past two years. More recent works, including ‘I Have A Vision’ and ‘Two Options’ reveal Stephanie Postle’s compulsion to capture and record spaces, people and places as a tool by which to remember. They encourage the viewer to see what the artist does; namely, the beauty in the banal and the intimacy that is found only in quiet moments. Poignant earlier works such as ‘Courage’ and ‘My Black Dog (Cow)’ capture individuals in the midst of emotional isolation or hardship, encouraging the viewer to contemplate the solidarity of shared human experience and perhaps find comfort in them.

A once-forlorn and ageing memorial to the fallen soldiers of 20th century wars has been given a much-needed refresh, in time for its 100th anniversary on Anzac Day last week.
The Drury cenotaph on Tui St was unveiled by former Prime Minister William Massey on Anzac Day 1922.
Today, thanks to volunteer hours, donations and skills, the cenotaph has a fresh coat of paint, an elegant stone set base and a garden of flowers around it.
Drury Community Committee members Riet van der Gulik and Steve O’Connor were behind the refresh, and said it was amazing to watch the community rally around the cenotaph.
They told us all about their efforts - read more below.
