AA - Artists Anonymous > inanga  > Art > Sacred Spaces
Sacred Spaces - i suppose all space on earth is sacred, although we seldom treat it as such. In this gallery i include some of my favourite things i have ever actioned on behalf of God.

i usually store this gallery in AA - Artists' Anonymous - a Smug Communities repository that I think is appropriate. i assume that is why artists use pen (painting) names. A man or woman's faith is their own business...

A lot of my work employs collage - it allows me to use modern media and ancient techniques of painting. It is, in essence, image making nonetheless. Paint, silver gelatin, pixels, cardboard, bytes - all form the canvas - the end result is image of a single moment in a succession of moments. One foot after the other...

For a good view of much of the subject matter in this gallery go to - and beyond -http://www.sacred-texts.com

inanga > Seven Archangels

collage of 'The irenicon' - see that gallery for the poem of the same name. I was going to use the word 'eponymous' like REM and realised that had been done before.

Daily viscissitudes...

inanga > Gifts

I intend giving 'First Strike of the Ax' to Brendon Pongia from the TVNZ Channel 3 show 'Good Morning'. He used to live next door to my mother in Heaphy Street, Greymouth. He always refers to Whitebait and Greymouth on that show, an obvious expression of pride. If he comments on it - it is upside down in this photo - I will reframe it for him. It will look good in his space. 'Flight of Three Ducks, Te Ake Ake o Poutini' (the climbing vine of Poutini, Waitaha Songsinger) has gone to kahu as a koha (to the Australasian harrier as a gift).

inanga > Phi-re Place

Homage to Dusty Rhodes

I bought an old fire place cover from the Salvation Army for $5. I remember as a kid this amazing character that lived in Greymouth who painted fire places - Dusty Rhodes (I am not kidding about the name). There are still a lot of Dusty Rhodes' original scattered around the West Coast of the South Island. Of course, Dusty painted in the days before we were granted this magnificent technology to show off our work. No Google - imagine!

Dusty gave me an idea, I had a fire place, paint, brushes and a beautiful, although somewhat faded, tapestry canvas. I took to it with the Phi swirl, gave the fireplace frame a new coat of paint, added a carved piece of pounamu to the top of the fireplace, and bingo - 'Phi-re Place'.

My mate mfnw (Miles from Nowhere) was one of the few people I know who still has an open fire. Thus, it found its way to his quiet valley.
