Takatu studio hosts Fabricated Narratives

An exhibition of varied work, including print, textiles and photography, called ‘Fabricated Narratives’ will be on display at the Takatu Studio from May 11 to 19.

The exhibition features the work of Mahurangi artists Alysn Midgelow-Marsden, Helene Carpenter, Di Halstead and Marianda Twydell.

The works have already been shown at venues across Britain and Ireland, but this will be the first time that they have been shown in New Zealand.

Alysn says the exhibition at the Takatu Studio gives the artists a chance to say ‘thank you’ to local people, many of whom helped in the exhibition’s development.

“Whether historically accurate or playfully inventive, each work in the exhibition is part of a story,” she says.

The exhibition also includes a film about the artists.

The exhibition is open from 10am to 4pm daily and admission is free. Takatu Studios is located at 201a Takatu Road, Matakana.
