'Good' is Amelia Nurse's first exhibition at Photospace gallery, and it comprises color and black & white photographs.  The exhibition shows in gallery room 3 from 3rd March-6th April 2023. The exhibition opening in on Thursday 2nd March, 5pm-7pm, along with Catherine Russ' exhibition 'In the Quiet' in gallery room 1.

Statement:
Good is titled after a mailbox I came across while out walking. It reflects both how the images were encountered, and my perfunctory reaction to finding subjects and scenes that held a resonance for me. They were taken in 2019/2020 in western Waikato and the Coromandel.

In a John Clarke interview (prior to his death) he talked about first having an idea and then considering what form it should take: poetry, comedy, interview… This struck a chord for me. In the instance of this particular collection, I was finding words foreign and inaccessible, but photography allowed me to bring into focus my experience of that bracket of time.

Biography:
Amelia Nurse, of dual Canadian and NZ heritage, lives and works in Te Mata in the Coromandel. Things she's earned money doing and/or has done to earn money include music, broadcasting, editing, photography, waiting tables, doco making, travel journalism, running B&Bs, accountancy, haircutting, poetry and arboreal labour. In her photography she aspires to transcending the image to communicate the emotional impulse or sensory experience which lies behind it.
