Far Far Away - Romance, Anxiety and the Uncertainty of Place opened at the Hokianga Art Gallery on Saturday 27th June and ran until 30th July 2009. The exhibition featured a diverse selection of works which were accompanied in the exhibition catalogue by the clever, dark narratives of Bronwyn Lloyd. There were works by Emma Smith, Stephen Brookbanks, Sam Mitchell, Warwick Freeman, Alexis Hunter, Josephine Cachemaille, Octavia Cook, Matthew McIntyre Wilson and Crystal Chain Gang.
The Hokianga Art Gallery resides in a commanding, historic building on the harbour's edge in Rawene. While viewing the exhibition you could look out over the harbour and imagine the turbulent events that shaped some of New Zealand's early history.
