a biennial outdoor sculpture exhibition held on magnificent Waiheke Island

Artist Profile: Louise Palmer


Christchurch based artist and Lecturer in Sculpture at the University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts Louise has made the visit back and forth from Christchurch to Waiheke Island since being selected for headland SCULPTURE ON THE GULF 2009 in June 2008.

Showing her dedication to site specific sculpture Palmer visited the Church Bay walkway where headland SCULPTURE ON THE GULF will be taking place on two occasions before making a final decision on where on the track she would cast natural fauna and in her words “cast from the landscape itself”. These castings will be transported back to Christchurch where the work will come to fruition ready to be re sited in early January.

Louise Palmer and the team at headland SCULPTURE ON THE GULF would like to thank Roy Carroll for his generosity and dedication helping Louise on site.
