Trish Clark Gallery is delighted to present the first solo exhibition of UK-based artist Christine Webster in Aotearoa New Zealand since 2014’s Therapies at Gus Fisher Gallery. Divinations is a significant new body of work comprising 14 photographic works and 4 videos, arising from Webster’s collaboration with New Zealand cultural treasure Douglas Wright before his death in 2018, that holds in tension the body’s earthly flesh (as well as its desires) with lofty themes of religious ecstasy, transcendence, and death alongside quotidian details of daily life. Accompanying Divinations is Skeleton (1997/2015), an earlier collaboration between Webster and Wright, which sits in poignant relationship with these recent works.
For further information and images please contact the gallery.
