Elizabeth Moyle
Overlap
2023

Elizabeth Moyle work examines her concept of held space, an exploration into how
time is held through memories and recordings. Moyle is interested in how the
present runs through, with, and overlaps with the past. Her adept handling of a
variety of media demonstrates not only the artist’s innate abilities but a true
sensitivity towards her subject lending her charcoal and painted forms an ephemeral
quality and yet simultaneously, and seemingly impossibly, monumental presence.

Graduating with Distinction in Masters from Wintec in 2021 and First Class Honours
BFA from the University of Canterbury in 2011. Moyle has exhibited both nationally
and internationally and has been the recipient of many awards and scholarships.

Home to Me

These collagraph monotypes are explorations of texture and colour, expressing my feelings about Home. 

All are harakeke impressions in oil-based inks.

Mark Soltero 
Cinematic Ontologies
2023

Mark’s work is situated in reference to his personal history and the cultural and political landscape of the Postmodernist period. His practice is built around an intense drawing process. Working with hand-drawn and found images, processed in the computer and scaled, transferred and intricately hand traced and stencilled before paint is applied with squeegees or large brushes. While individual marks may be visible on close viewing, the image is read as a single mark.

In essence my paintings are history paintings that examine relationships between image, memory and materiality. Many of the images border on dissolution, fragmenting or breaking down in contrast to the seemingly smooth images that saturate our lived experience. Rather than making works in which the image might be shocking, I make works that draw audiences in, yet are challenging to look at. To a certain extent, the work explores our experience of différance, in time.
