Savage Club Composite
Laurence Aberhart, Artist
This is one of the
photographs
in our collection.
It was made in
Whanganui, Whanganui Region, New Zealand
in circa 1986.
About the Work
In
1986
Aberhart
was
the
inaugural
Tylee
artist
in
residence.
The
images
made
during
his
12
months
in
Wanganui
(and
other
nearby
regions)
act
as
an
important
documentation
of
the
area
and
its
environs.
As
a
body
of
work
they
reflect
the
preoccupations
present
in
Aberhart’s
entire
oeuvre:
lodges,
waiting
rooms,
Churches,
rest
areas,
museum
displays,
beaches,
light,
marae,
monuments
and
memorials.
Empty
places
and
spaces
with
culture
and
people
as
ghosts,
hinted
at
but
only
rarely
revealed.
This record has related works.
