{Suite} Ponsonby is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new paintings by Jaimee Peters (Ngāti Kahu ki Whangaroa).

Jaimee's practice occupies a tenuous threshold between abstraction and representation, drawing from architectural structures to visualise domains at once real and illusory.

In this series, Jaimee turns her attention to buildings in New Zealand, the government buildings and museums of our major cities. Te Papa Tongarewa is included, as is the Auckland Museum. Hunting through photographs online, Jaimee searches for images to form the starting point of her paintings and from there she works with spaces, shadows and layers to form the works.

Jamiee’s process is organic and constantly evolving. Many alterations are made during the progression of the painting with space and shadow changing throughout. In this series, there is more focus on larger areas of blocked space, with these spaces providing an abrupt covering to the layers behind.

Jaimee Peters lives and works in Te Whanganui-a- Tara, Wellington.
