	Waikato / Coromandel Artists Kaz Bartsch Tree Crown A forest crown of cabbage trees and nikau palms to celebrate the natural heritage of this beautiful country Barry Brickell Matou Derivative This is a form made from stoneware clay mixed with local river sand and salt-glazed in a wood fired kiln. The coiling method was used in its making . Examples of salt-glazed larger stoneware sculptural forms are quite rare - terracotta is the usual medium for these. The form is derived as an abstraction from the matou or fish hook form. Kath Des Forges Cultural Sensitivity Strip-pieced thai silk, overstitched with straight stitch. I have used colours as symbols to represent the many races that make up our multi-cultural society, from the pale European through to the dark skins of our Native races, with the Irish, Indian and Asian groups represented by green, terracotta and gold. Kath Des Forges My Cottage Collection Silk fabrics in colour gradations, semiole pieced and reversed. Over stitched to present abstract floral forms. Darryn George Untitled This work is the genesis of a body of work I have developed on self portraiture. With themes to do with alienation resulting from race and religion.
