Jaboticaba

Jaboticaba at Wharepuke Kerikeri NZ
Jaboticaba

The Jaboticaba has a great crop on it here at Wharepuke at the moment.

The fruit cover the trunks and branches. The fruit are delicious but don’t last when picked and are best eaten fresh while standing next to the tree.

It has thick grape-like skin which has a lot of the flavour just near the surface but the skin itself most people spit out when you’ve got all the juicyness

The fruit can be used to make jellies, juice or wine

Apparently the skin can be used as a treatment for hemoptysis, asthma, diarrhoea, and gargled for chronic inflammation of the tonsils. Several potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory anti-cancer compounds have been isolated from the fruit.

Come and check it out!

Mark Graver Fenestra

MARK GRAVER – FENESTRA

Mark Grave Fenestra

This exhibition by Mark Graver is made up of four main bodies of work.  The Kerikeri River and So with Present Time prints are part of an ongoing series relating to water and the passage of time inspired by a Leonardo da Vinci quote

“In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time”.

The three larger works use images taken in Hobart, Tauranga Bay and Tonga.

The Façade Series – were made by Mark Graver in Hobart, Tasmania on an International Artist Residency in Aug/Sep 2016.  The works began as collagraph plates made from paper and plaster.  These were printed and the prints then scanned.  The prints and plates were then digitally collaged – print 1 with plate 6, print 2 with plate 5, print 3 with plate 4 and so on.
The original collagraphs were abstract responses to the surfaces of the city, the buildings, walls, streets and textures.  Façade relates both to the front of a building and a deceptive outward appearance.

The Fenstra Series are made using photographs taken of light, shadow and foliage through the printmaking studio windows.  The images are manipulated, collaged and layered in Photoshop and printed as archival inkjets.

The final series Tree I – VII uses images of trees, ferns and textures from around Wharepuke and the surrounding area.

Leftovers VI

LEFTOVERS VI at Wharepuke

June 8 – July 3
Leftovers at Wharepuke

In 2010 Amy Nack, Wingtip Press, was cleaning out the flat files and wondered what to do with the little scraps of paper that were jamming up the drawers. She figured they weren’t the only printmakers with such delicious problems. So Wingtip invited a few printmaking pals to create prints from their scraps.

Since then Wingtip has exhibited Leftovers prints from hundreds of artists from around the world, made new friends and expanded their collection of extraordinary prints. Wingtip Press has been successful in arranging multiple international exhibitions of the Leftover prints and will continue to make sure that happens.

Gallery open 7 days 10am – 5pm

For a long time, my work has explored genetic engineering through a blending of science fiction and reality; combining and juxtaposing literary fantasies with scientific possibilities.

Searching the internet, images of cloned animals and human medical stem cell research sit alongside photo shopped imaginings of hybridised dysfunctional animals. This melting pot of truth and lies reminds me of medieval printed bestiaries of imagined and real animals presented for examination and fascination.

This body of work explores an imagined representation of human organ cultivation and stem cell experiments.

All works are screen-printed and painted on panels, 2016.

Parallel Prints 2015

PARALLEL PRINTS 2015

Parallel Prints 2015

 

NZ/AUSTRALIA
ART AT WHAREPUKE
ART GALLERY OF BALLARAT
OCTOBER 3 – NOVEMBER 22

Parallel Prints is an on-going portfolio and exhibition project devised by Mark Graver and Tania Booth from Art at Wharepuke, Kerikeri, New Zealand.

The project presents simultaneous exhibitions of the portfolio collection at Art at Wharepuke and in a related partner gallery outside of New Zealand.

Using the uniqueness of the reproducible print allows for the same works to be viewed at the same time in different parts of the world.  This highlights the democratic nature of printmaking and questions the aura of the unique.  Which venue is showing the ‘real’ work?  Which the reproduction?

The first Parallel Prints project was staged in NZ and the UK in 2013.  The portfolio was presented at the international printmaking conference Impact 8 in Dundee Scotland and subsequently accepted into collection at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, The Ashmolean Museum, Oxford and The Kent Print Collection in the UK, The Whangarei Art Museum, New Zealand and the Jinling Museum of Art, Nanjing, China.

The 2015 portfolio features Mark Graver and 11 invited Australian artists – Susanna Castleden, Antonietta Covino-Beehre, David Frazer, Jodi Heffernan, Martin King, Deborah Klein, Bruno Leti, John Neeson, James Pasakos, Melissa Smith and Deborah Williams.
