Kelvin Mann & Margaret Silverwood, til 26 Nov, Wellington

Currently on at Solander Gallery in Wellington 
there is an exhibition of works by Kelvin Mann 
and Whanganui printmaker Margaret Silverwood.

Kelvin Mann, originally from Dunedin,
is master printmaker at Stoney Road Press in Dublin.
Kelvin's new etchings demonstrate his considerable compositional skills 
and his typically quirky way of seeing the world.
I especially loved the whimsical play on 'flock' of birds and 'gold' fish!

literally 'draws together' images from books and old magazines 
of people, plants, animals and domestic situations 
to explore the complexities of our relationship with the rest of the natural world.
Mostly drawings, I liked the characters from these two etchings.
