A Quiet Moment - A painting exhibition by Stephanie Postles

Franklin Arts Centre from Franklin Arts Centre

A Quiet Moment- A painting exhibition by Stephanie Postles
5 - 27 May 2022

Gallery hours: Mon - Fri 9.30am -4.30pm, Sat 9.30am - 2.30pm

This show comprises of a selection of works from the past two years. More recent works, including ‘I Have A Vision’ and ‘Two Options’ reveal Stephanie Postle’s compulsion to capture and record spaces, people and places as a tool by which to remember. They encourage the viewer to see what the artist does; namely, the beauty in the banal and the intimacy that is found only in quiet moments. Poignant earlier works such as ‘Courage’ and ‘My Black Dog (Cow)’ capture individuals in the midst of emotional isolation or hardship, encouraging the viewer to contemplate the solidarity of shared human experience and perhaps find comfort in them.

Free entry. All welcome.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
