Hi,

You are invited to view my new exhibition online!

'2020'
Opening on the 4 July 2020 at 8:00 AM NZST and running until the 4 September 2020

In this exhibition I feature some artworks which have the topic Covid-19 (Some also the topic Racism).

Start viewing the exhibition here: theexhibit.io...

Don't forget you can view the exhibition at any time before it opens, so start viewing now to discover, bookmark and share your favourite artworks!

I look forward to seeing you there.

What else is new? Some of my artworks are now also represented and sold through a gallery in Tokyo, Japan. I'm also looking forward to some International Art Fairs in Europe later this year in which some of my works will be represented by a gallery in Italy.

The probably best way for locals to purchase my artwork is to contact me directly, because then there will be no shipping costs involved (and also 'local' prices!). Follow me on Instagram or Facebook @ngaiophoto.

Enjoy!
Sebastian

We found this photo in a retro booklet all about the Waterloo Pumping Station (now known as the Waterloo Water Treatment Plant) from 1981, and had to compare it to what it looks like now!


The station opened on 15 May 1981, and was designed to use the artesian underground water resource of the Lower Hutt Valley to its maximum extent 💧

Eight wells supply water from the Waiwhetu aquifer to the Water Treatment Plant located right next to the Waterloo Train Station 🚉
