Thinking of you
This exhibition takes a whimsical look at the changing role of the portrait from the dawn of photography to the present day, portrayed through the nineteenth century medium of ambrotype.

Thinking of you comprises three parts:

Extended Family
post-mortem shadow portraits of some small creatures that once shared our house, gleaned from the cobwebs in the corners of the windows.
 
Beloved
a collection of miniatures of questionable emotional value.
 
Remember Me
10 x cased ambrotypes referencing the face as the new gatekeeper of our digital devices.

Thinking of you is showing in Room 3 of Photospace Gallery from 2nd December 2017 to 27th January, 2018. 
'For the ancestors of the next millennials.'

More information on Su Hendeles' website.
So, what exactly is an Ambrotype?

Holiday hours
Photospace Gallery will be closed for a number of days between 23rd December 2017 and 14 January, 2018.
  • 23rd-26th December - I'm really not available
  • 30th December - 1st January, likewise
  • 13th January, I'm busy with something else
Other days, the gallery can be open for viewing by appointment. I'll be in for a couple of hours at a time several times a week.
Best course: email me at j.gilberd@xtra.co.nz

Construction work
Earthquake strengthening work will soon be undertaken on the building facade. As Su's exhibition room is at the back of the building, viewing should be unaffected. It is possible that viewing in room 1 of the gallery (with Andrew Ross's exhibition), may be disrupted.
Watch the gallery website and Facebook page for updated information about this.
