'Sancturary' is Andy Spain's first exhibition at Photospace Gallery. You are welcome to come to the opening on Thursday 2nd February, 5pm-7pm.
Sanctuary
Pandemics, mental health crisis, inequality, the rise of the far right, war on the border of Europe, it's not surprising we all need a special place to go to. I asked people where their place of Sanctuary was and arranged to photograph them in it."
- Andy Spain

During the early months of the pandemic Andy did a course to shake up his photography practice of 30 years. Forced to re-consider why he was a photographer, what began to emerge was his continual search for a place of home and the comfort that the act of photography gave him. His project, Sanctuary, was born. He set out to find other people's places of Sanctuary, allowing him a privileged access to people and places.

Over the course of the last three years, Andy has photographed Wellington residents in their place of Sanctuary, where the space around the subject is as important as the portrait itself. Over the course of the on-going project, Andy realised that his place of Sanctuary was out with his camera meeting these subjects and sharing a short moment about their life and story.

Of the Hill

Of the Hill is about Te Ahumairangi hill where the photographer lives in Pōneke/Wellington, and hills beyond. It’s a work about the power and presence of the land, rocks and plant life we live on and with. Mary’s images take the familiar sights of neighbourhoods and road trips and shapes them into an emotional and psychological response to place.
A hand-bound limited edition photobook featuring the full series is available, $55. Edition of 50 copies, signed and numbered. This is available from Bad News Books, and we will have a few copies available for sale in the gallery.
Mary Macpherson has exhibited at Photospace Gallery since 2014.
