Emily Rumney & Steph Chalmers with Studio Audit 2013 at the opening of the NZPPA 2014
|
Emily and I made our first collaborative artwork last year and it was selected for the Waikato Society of Arts' annual New Zealand Painting and Printmaking Award for 2014.
. . .
“I tried in my selection to choose not only the entries that I considered to be outstanding, but works that illustrate the diverse styles and media I saw. As a result, the 2014 NZPPA exhibition is made up of everything from digital collage to oil paint, pinhole photography to ballpoint pen.
I am also intrigued by the theme of digital technologies and digitally-led lives that is reflected across these works, from a digital collage that calls to mind 19th century scientific engravings to an abstract painting inspired by social media interactions.”
