"Overload" Installation
With our overload of; food, fossil fuels, chemical use, information, to name a few of the subjects high in the conscience of many people, seeing it as detrimental to our environment and well being. We feel pulled apart from the comfort of our values and prejudices by the new. It is overwhelming for many but the inevitability is looming strong and unstoppable as we head into overload.
In the Installation "Overload" artists Shivaun Hogan local painter and sculptor, Clarence Collier local sculptor and Bindy Bonette textile sculptural artist, have used the couch as a metaphor of the human condition to self-destruct. The household couch has been part of many decisions to mass consume and allowing us to be comfortable to view our understanding of the world on the TV/computer.

Rebecca HoldenMy husband and I live on a lifestyle block with our 2 sons. Currently I divide my time between following my passions - painting, graphic design, which I do on a contract to contract basis, and looking after my children. My professional background is in graphic design which I have been doing for 15 years. My design career has taken many different routes. Including web design, publications design and illustration. This passion for creativity in my life lead me to follow another love and that is painting. Most recently I had a very fulfilling exhibition in Palmerston North called "Domestic Moments and Abstracted Visions". I enjoy doing paintings that have a lot of symbolism and always hope that someone will connect with it on some level.
