Opening Night: Thursday 19 November, 7pm - 10pm

A powerful and moving exploration of grief.

I am honoured to be presenting my latest work - Dear Grief.

The exhibition is an exploration into the topic of grief, showcasing stunning large format portraits of real Kiwi's alongside their handwritten letters to grief.

This project came from knowing a wonderful young lady that wanted to give back to a charity that shaped her life (You can hear her message to grief in the video below). The charity, Kenzies Gift, provided support for her and many children, young people and families like her that have been affected by serious illness or bereavement.

It’s free for you to attend and is a unique way for you to explore the very real story and impact of grief and support this incredible charity. We were also honoured to receive a message of support from The Duke of Cambridge, which you can see at the exhibition.

The Dear Grief campaign is extra special this year as it's been timed to coincide with Kenzie's 18th birthday (on the Sunday). There will be ways to donate on the night including purchasing sessions for a family in need.

There is also the opportunity to write your own letter to grief, which will be displayed at the exhibition and on our online gallery.

If you can't make the opening night don't worry. The exhibition is open all weekend.
