despite the appearance of green shoots and canopies of blossoms, many are complaining of art fatigue. a fine antidote may be some new works by ceramicist corrina hoseason and painter dick lyne.
corrina's florid trophy-like confections have been carefully
hand-crafted, sometimes with vintage chocolate-moulds. these creamy-white
concoctions proudly bear cattle and geese and are bedecked with
garlands and rosettes recalling the A&P shows of old.
dick lyne's colourful and eccentric acrylics carefully depict events
from forestry past, including the measuring and sawing of majestic
native trees. there is a delicious sense of jollity and zeal about them.
