Two Auckland-based artists have collaborated on the latest exhibition at the Sarjeant Gallery.
Sam Mitchell and Gavin Hurley were both Tylee Cottage artists-in-residents in Whanganui in 2015, and have produced an exhibition called Beards, Boys, Platters, Shattered Dreams.
Mr Hurley works in collage and paint, while Ms Mitchell mostly works in ceramics.
Ms Mitchell's contribution to the exhibition focuses on the year 1986 - the first year the Tylee Cottage residency began.
It consists of a series of platters and plates laid out on a table, each one hand-painted with a scene representing Whanganui or 1986. There's former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and former United States President Ronald Regan; Halley's Comet; the nuclear accident at Chernobyl; the Homosexual Law Reform Bill; and Tylee Cottage itself.
