Bill Dorman “Steeling Away"
“Steeling Away” is a whimsical exploration of metal, heat and hammers.
Dorman uses over five decades of artistic practice to create a distinctive and offbeat world, where walking boats and islands with long legs are filled with fungi figures. Dorman invites you to join his characterful creations of sculpture and jewellery as they 'steel' away.
Bill Dorman's exhibition ran from the 1st of October until the 29th of October 2023.
The Opening event was held on Saturday 7th October 2023 at 2pm at Gallery On Track.
Opened by Neville Parker, Friend, Artist and Gallerist from Church House Gallery, Motueka, NZ.

Transformations By 'Fibre Fun'
Fibre Fun’ aims to provide a working space for Gallery on Track members who wish to explore art through the medium of fibre. e.g., textile art and mixed media, knitting and crochet, wet and needle felting, weaving and macrame, applique, machine quilting and hand embroidery.
The group has members who have worked in textiles and fibre for decades through to those who have explored a new medium for just a few months.
"Transformations " - The group’s September exhibition at the Gallery on Track showed examples of how fibres can be transformed and an individual’s explorations into the broad medium of fibre art.

Ilona says:
My art is my sanity. You may think the word sanity is not coming to mind when you look at some of my artwork. For this exhibition, I came up with the idea to paint portraits in the Art Deco style. It fascinates me how we can create something with just shapes and colours. Christina says: For this exhibition I have created a series of Art Deco portraits. The Art Deco style originated in Paris but has influenced architecture and culture as a whole. Art Deco works are symmetrical, geometric, streamlined, often simple, and pleasing to the eye. Creating art for me is a meditation where I am so focused on the artistry that time stands still. |

- February-March
- showcased patchwork quilts made by the
using beautiful, donated fabrics
and
Sammi Sparrow who exhibited '100 days of Frogs'
A diverse and interesting collection
Creative Needles Patchwork Quilt Exhibition
'We are happy to display some of the quilts we have made ready to donate to charity in 2023.
Last year we gave away about 150 quilts to people who needed a little TLC in their lives.
Our small group uses beautiful, donated fabric from generous Gallery members and friends, to create patchwork designs suitable for children and adults, both men & women. Some are picture themes and others have more geometric designs.
We are always trialling new ideas and learning new skills. We bring our sewing machines to the Crib Room every Tuesday and use 2 tables for pinning quilts or laying out designs. It is wonderful to have room to work, but unfortunately the size of the room, limits our group number to 6.
Sale of any of the quilts in this exhibition, will help us purchase wadding for future quilts'.

Frogs' Exhibition by Sammi Sparrow
'I'm so very excited to have the opportunity to show my frogs at the gallery! It's such a great community to be involved with. My 100 days of Frogs has humble beginnings. I had been struggling with artist's block due to a lack of direction and being unsure of where to focus my creative energy. I had been creating work for other people for so long, I felt I had lost my creative voice and did not feel in tune with what I was making. I have in the past taken part in a number of fun creative challenges and thought that would be just the thing to focus my energy on and get me back into the habit of creating every day. I chose the 100-day challenge and frogs. Frogs are my favourite animal I felt a personal subject would help to keep my attention for the whole challenge. I created one frog every day for 100 days. I wanted to test myself and asked friends to suggest different ideas and I also spent time researching. The project really got me back into the creative mindset and I had so much fun, I couldn't believe how fast the days passed. I'm so pleased I was able to create such a diverse and interesting collection of frogs!' Sammi Sparrow |
