The work aims to capture that spirit of creation inherent in imaginative children, and is highlighted by some works being a collaboration with his four-year old daughter, Sadie Rose, also known as 'SaySay'.
Through various materials, Chris brings to light his own struggles with depression and anxiety. He is keen to highlight the services available in the Taupo region, and other options accessible nationally.
Some of the art will be for sale, with other pieces available via a feedback loop in which works will be given to anyone who shares an interesting story about what a particular piece means or inspires in them, good or bad, or where they might put it should they acquire it.
At the end of the exhibition all stories will be considered and Chris will make decisions based on the feedback he gets.
Chris says: "I think this becomes a nice way to interact and also allows the art and its story to spread further afield."

I have to disagree with you. I do not think its fair and equitable for all ratepayers to contribute to the "Regional Theatre"in Hamilton.
If you want a Regional Theatre fund it from Hamilton.This is not the domain of the Regional Council and I very much doubt that the people of Hamilton want it. This would stand empty a great deal of the time.
I just cannot picture the people of the Region travelling from Putaruru,
Tokoroa, Taupo, Thames, Te Aroha to patronise it. Most of those places have their own theatres which they fund themselves, and not out of rates. I am sure there are more important things to worry about than a Regional Theatre. If our council has agreed to this, as is indicated in the article in the Taupo Times on 27 March, I think they need to clear their heads.
