Article 19

Image above and copy below from Amnesty International NZs website


Collaborating with a group of amazing New Zealand artists, Amnesty is proud to bring you an incredible event and the opportunity to bid on the pieces. The exhibition features works from renowned artists such as Nigel Brown, Otis Frizell, Misery, TrustMe from Cut Collective, Cinzah Merkens, Tanya Blong and many more.

All proceeds go towards ensuring Amnesty International Aotearoa New Zealand can continue its work defending and promoting human rights both worldwide, in our region and here in New Zealand.

The theme ‘ARTicle 19’ stems directly from the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights article, ‘Everyone has the right to freedom of expression’. Proceeds raised from Amnesty’s exhibition will go to priority campaigns like Myanmar where the government regularly violates the human rights of peaceful critics in a myriad of ways, including torture, imprisonment and death.

Amnesty invites you to bid on the artwork in the week leading up to the event, or come along on the night to view and bid in person.

The event will be held 7 July 2010 at Shed 10 from 7-10pm.

Shed 10 is located at 90 Wellesley St
(Entrance 77 Cook St) in Auckland City.

C’mon folks, place a bid!

It’s her song

I have finished my piece of art for Amnesty’s fund raising art auction.
It’s made of wool with a frame of novelty yarn and it has seed beads knitted into it.
It measures 40cm x 30cm.

This piece will be for sale at an on-line auction for Amnesty. The money will
(among other things) be used against domestic violence, hence the message.

Unfortunately I don’t have the details for the auction yet, so stay tuned.

Sneak peak

My piece of art for Amnesty International is slowly coming together.
Here is a sneak peak.

Knit for human rights

I have received an email from Amnesty International. They asked if I would like to donate
a piece of knitted art to their fund raising art auction in Auckland in late June.

All proceeds will go towards continuing Amnesty International’s important work in
the Pacific on issues such as gun violence, domestic violence and the situation in Fiji.

Of course I will donate a piece!

Will you place a bid?

Stay tuned

Showtime!

The exhibition “A Good Yarn” opened yesterday and it’s
an amazing variety of textile art. I wish I could show you
but I was not allowed to take photos (which makes sense).

Here are photos of my work
