NB: As discussed on Wednesday 28th Nov:
Jo Bone, our very own Academic Resource Officer in the Independent Learning Centre, is a talented lady. Not only is she in charge of and very knowledgeable about the resources we have on offer in the ILC, she is an amazing childrens book illustrator. Her wonderful watercolour images highlight New Zealand wildlife and portray the Kiwi way of life beautifully. Jo has mentioned that her artwork will be available for public viewing online after this week, so watch this space!
SITE Exhibition 2018: The artist has used natural materials, cardboard, paper and stones, to great effect. She has used square, rectangular, cylindrical and triangular shapes in clean-cut lines. The caricatures of herself on display are a revealing insight into the artist and how she views herself: not only is she selling rocks, she is also creating an advertisement of/for herself as a way of connecting with her audience with the contrast between black print and the pale brown colour of cardboard, and the use of Chinese on the left side with English on the right, combining to showcase the two sides of her own identity...something that I can personally relate to with my own family. Sustainability and environmental awareness are two issues highlighted in this unique artwork.
