Stories from my Grandmother

Constanza Briceno.I cover and re-cover the mistakes.I sort, match, and align the shapes and colours. I repeat forms in rows, in columns.I outline, I scrape, and repair.The collection "Stories by my grandmother" has been inspired by the unbelievable and magical but real stories that Uberlinda, my grandmother, used to tell us thousands of times after school.

’Maria Luque, a Patagonian land surveyor based in New Plymouth, as an artist and an expert in mapping, has developed techniques for taking any map and converting it into a three-dimensional look work of art. Some of her work related to Taranaki is on display here, but she also has an extensive collection of other pieces from all over New Zealand

Between exhibitions we have a photographic display of old Stratford. The larger photographs have been re-digitalised at Puke Ariki. This reveals details that had never been seen in the original photos as they were never enlarged.

These are a fascinating snapshot of Stratford and the landscape that dramatically transformed as bush was converted to pasture.
