The City Gallery, Wellington/ Te Whare Toi is currently hosting an exhibition of “folk-horror-infused art” by Don Driver and Julia Robinson.
Sculptures and assemblages present a view of the Gothic from the Antipodes; Julia Robinson hails from Australia and comes from English ancestry and Don Driver is from Aotearoa New Zealand. Julia uses textile techniques including costuming and crocheting to invoke her family roots while Don’s mother’s work as a milliner and doll-maker feed into his work. This exhibition features tools and implements and textiles, presented together in wonderfully macabre and witty ways.
