Artist Sarah Hillary in conversation with Gallerist Anna Miles

When
Sunday 30th July 2023 11:00am - 12:30pm
Where  Tauranga Art Gallery Toi Tauranga, 103 Willow Street, Tauranga View Map

Toi Tauranga warmly invites you to a morning conversation between Artist and Gallerist. To coincide with Sarah Hillary's exhibition titled Dolphin Afternoons. Hilary works as Principal Conservator at Auckland Art Gallery and spends days looking at the surface of paintings through a microscope. Hillary began making her own work in earnest in 2003 when she was in her late forties. Just as her day job sees her deciphering layers of time and discovering new and hidden knowledge, her own practice encourages close looking too, evoking a sense of wonder and surprise.

Anna Miles has been representing Sarah Hillary since her galleries' inception in 2003. Miles's Tāmaki Makaurau based gallery represents jewellers, ceramic artists and a weaver alongside painters and photographers.

Hillary's exhibition Dolphin Afternoons is a series of intimate, sometimes private scenes rendered small scale. Composed of interior and exterior tableaux, this assembly of new and pre-existing dioramas by Tāmaki Makaurau based artist Sarah Hillary offer glimpses of iconic Aotearoa baches and beaches including Anawhata, Pārāwai and Waihi. Their tiny scale is important. Hilary works as Principal Conservator at Auckland Art Gallery and spends days looking at the surface of paintings through a microscope.

Dolphin Afternoons celebrates the quiet beauty of personal scenes. Honouring cherished memories of friends and family holidays, Hilary reconstructs these worlds for pleasure, depicting specific times or places reflected in their detailed décor and furnishings.
