I Don’t Know / Tell Me at Taupo Museum and Gallery
Chris Eyes, also known as the artist SeeSaw, is bringing his abstract colour-bombs to the Taupo Museum and Gallery.
The work aims to capture that spirit of creation inherent in imaginative children, and is highlighted by some works being a collaboration with his four-year old daughter, Sadie Rose, also known as 'SaySay'.
Through various materials, Chris brings to light his own struggles with depression and anxiety. He is keen to highlight the services available in the Taupo region, and other options accessible nationally.
Some of the art will be for sale, with other pieces available via a feedback loop in which works will be given to anyone who shares an interesting story about what a particular piece means or inspires in them, good or bad, or where they might put it should they acquire it.
At the end of the exhibition all stories will be considered and Chris will make decisions based on the feedback he gets.
Chris says: "I think this becomes a nice way to interact and also allows the art and its story to spread further afield."

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
