FLEUR WICKES

Lisa’s welcome sign, with “it’s beautiful here at the edge, 2018” [box-framed] sitting alongside.

Aroha sums up the beautiful feeling throughout Lisa’s lovely home.

I made the original “under the cover of stars and darkness” [scroll down a little to see the original, hanging above a bed] for an exhibition at Te Manawa in 2013 and the edition has sold out.

I am so in love with this photograph, which I made just before the Art House Wellington evening got underway, that I’ve decided to release it as a studioprint, and a limited edition exhibition print.

Because if you’re very very lucky, when you come undone under the cover of stars and darkness, aroha is the result.

I had this dining room table for my Barbie when I was a child! Loving it! “All the stars, 2018” and “it’s beautiful here at the edge, 2018” [custom-framed] in the background.

“The road I’m on, 2018” sitting underneath the most appropriate words.

“The road I’m on, 2018” and one more shadow.

“Come home to my arc and my flood, 2017”, taped onto the window blind.

“Protection, for Teresa, 2018” , a commissioned portrait, in amongst the Lisa’s family photographs. I’ve got some spots left in my commissioning schedule for 2018, so hit me up if you’re interested in knowing more.

“There are so many ways, for Hannah” [workrprint from my upcoming exhibition] with “Sleep well I am still here, 2018.”

“There are so many ways, for Hannah” [workrprint from my upcoming exhibition] with “Sleep well I am still here, 2018.” Had to show you a close-up as I love the detail in both these artworks.

Workprint of the first iteration of “there are so many ways to fly” [from my upcoming exhibition of the same name] taped onto one of Lisa’s existing artworks. My gaffer-tape love comes from my father.
