Artworks bring paradise to Taupo Museum

Darren Petry from Taupō District Council

Five artists will showcase work celebrating connections and the natural beauty of the world around us at a new Taupo Museum exhibition.

The exhibition, Playing in Paradise, has been coordinated by artist Jane Penton. She said the two and three-dimensional works had been created using fabric, fibre and found objects. Along with five collaborators, she has created hand-made pieces including sculpture, collage and even a DVD.

Ms Penton said there was also a storytelling element to the exhibition, which came through the choice of materials used and personal significance to the artists using them.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
