The Burns Memorial Every year school students have the chance to be great artists! This exhibition started in 1970 because Mr George Burns (1903 - 1970), who was born and went to school in Oamaru, thought it was important to encourage young people to make art. Mr Burns used to work for a Christchurch newspaper, which at the time ran a schools’ art exhibition throughout the South Island. The Burns Memorial is held each year in his memory. The staff of the Forrester Gallery would like to thank all the children and their teachers for all their hard work in putting this exhibition together. |

Pilgrimage "In an over rational world we could all benefit from dreaming and mysticism and being nourished by the deeper levels of our psyche. Using visual images, poetry and mystical writing from Kerry, the land The Pilgrimage panels and paintings using natural clays became a reflection, a sort of poetry, expressing the dreaming of our land that is found in the ancient legends of the Waitaha. I wondered if the theology and anthropology in, 'We are of the Void, of the Gods, and of the Light,' the writings of the Dominican Rhineland mystics, John Moriarty of Kerry and the Baxter writings from Aotearoa would sit comfortably together. Excerpt from the introduction to Pilgrimage, the publication produced In his dedication to ‘Song of Waitaha, The Histories of a Nation’ |
