Homebound - An exhibition by Artist Amrit Kaur

Franklin Arts Centre from Franklin Arts Centre

Homebound
Amrit Kaur
15th May 2025 - 5th June 2025

Community Gallery Franklin Arts Centre

HomeBound is a love letter to the quiet constancy of home-familiar, yet touched by time. Returning after a long absence, I see it anew, as if the years have softened the edges while deepening its meaning.

The lemons ripening in my backyard, the rustling of trees in the afternoon breeze, the gentle rhythm of daily life-these simple moments, once overlooked, now feel luminous. They are both unchanged and transformed, bearing the quiet dignity of things that persist.

My work captures this delicate paradox: the way home remains, yet shifts in our absence. It is a meditation on memory, on the beauty of the ordinary, and on the ever-changing lens through which we see the places that shape us.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
