John J. Scott

On show 25 October to 10 November

Welcome to "Far Horizons" an exhibition born from a 40-year personal odyssey to explore some of the worlds amazing spaces. Each photograph here is a chapter in my journey that has been driven by an insatiable curiosity and a deep reverence for the natural world.

This exhibition is an invitation to experience the world through my eyes and to reflect on the fleeting beauty that surrounds us all.

May these images inspire you to continue your own journey in search of more moments of wonder.

Philip Burnett

On show 25 October to 28 October

Philip Burnett's Pop-up exhibition, which will open alongside John J. Scott’s exhibition’ Far Horizons’.

"I grew up in West Auckland and am a self-taught artist and screenprinter by trade.

I’ve been painting for 20 years but it was lockdown that really reignited my passion. This is my first solo exhibition, where I combine two of my interests: classic vehicles (particularly classic scooters) and landscapes.

These paintings capture the rides I’ve taken with friends through Waitākere and across New Zealand."
