Start viewing the exhibition here: theexhibit.io...
Don't forget you can view the exhibition at any time before it opens, so start viewing now to discover, bookmark and share your favourite artworks!
I look forward to seeing you there.
What else is new? Some of my artworks are now also represented and sold through a gallery in Tokyo, Japan. I'm also looking forward to some International Art Fairs in Europe later this year in which some of my works will be represented by a gallery in Italy.
The probably best way for locals to purchase my artwork is to contact me directly, because then there will be no shipping costs involved (and also 'local' prices!). Follow me on Instagram or Facebook @ngaiophoto.
Enjoy!
Sebastian
Due to moving my uncle into care we need to get rid of a few things. This is a bagless vacuum cleaner. Brush and detail attachments included. I have just had the hose replaced as the catch was broken. I am just looking to recoup the cost of the repair.

Elspeth Sandys talks about her recent book in which she tells the story of her “Uncle Rewi” Alley’s life and work in the context of his time. This is a multi-layered narrative that is part biography, part travel journal, and part literary commentary.

Date: Wednesday 8 July 2020
Time: 5:30pm
Cost: No charge. Koha from non-members appreciated
Venue: Taiwhanga Kahau — Auditorium (lower ground floor), Corner Molesworth and Aitken Streets. Entrance on Aitken Street.
A Communist in the Family: Searching for Rewi Alley is a beautifully written multi-layered narrative, part-biography, part-travel journal, part-literary commentary. Sandys travelled to China with other family members to mark the ninetieth anniversary of Rewi's arrival in Shanghai in 1927. One strand of the book follows this journey and she tells the story of her “Uncle Rewi’s” early life in an insightful meditation on the complex and always elusive relationship between memory and writing. By placing the man, Rewi Alley, and his work in the context of his time and place, Elspeth is able to illuminate the life of this extraordinary New Zealander in a way that is both historically vivid and relevant to the world of today. The Alexander Turnbull Library holds extensive collections of material relating to Rewi Alley from his archives and from those of biographers, friends and colleagues.
Speaker biography: Wellington novelist Elspeth Sandys has published nine novels, two collections of short stories and two memoirs. She has written extensively for the BBC and for RNZ as well as for TV and film. A Communist in the Family: Searching for Rewi Alley was published by Otago University Press in 2019

The station opened on 15 May 1981, and was designed to use the artesian underground water resource of the Lower Hutt Valley to its maximum extent 💧
Eight wells supply water from the Waiwhetu aquifer to the Water Treatment Plant located right next to the Waterloo Train Station 🚉
