An exhibition of local artist Margaret-Mary Farr and her connection to the Makaroro River in the Ruahine Ranges. Maggie collected minerals and plants from the Makaroro area to make paint, which she used in her art, capturing the natural beauty of Makaroro. She has developed her own distinctive style of painting using fine veils of colour to create mood-evoking images.
Maggie says, "Over the last year, I decided to do a study of the valley. I have been on a dedicated personal journey of discovery and connection. I have been up there on a regular basis observing the change of seasons, the life of the river and life that lives there, and especially gathering materials and making pigments and art materials to create my work.
Most importantly, I have observed the Mauri (life) of the Makaroro."
