Part of the upcoming exhibition - The Enchanted Garden, involves an artists project by Monique Redmond.
I was fortunate enough to hear from the curator, Mary Kisler, about Redmond's ambition for this project; to create a Pohutukawa Forest in the gallery. As i like to show some of the more unusual behind-the-scenes happenings at the gallery, the arrival of a forest of trees into the gallery seemed to fit.
Above is Monique Redmond who i like to think is checking out the height of the latest delivery of Pohutakawa trees with in trepidation.
How many preps does it take to make a forest?!
Looks like a rare sighting of the red headed prep lost amongst the forest. Apparently quite tame though.
......that's all I can reveal but if you want more, the exhibition opens on Saturday 13th December, come and see if they have flowered especially for the opening weekend. Fingers crossed!
