Orchestra of Light | Solo Show by Melanie Field | 27th July 2023
We warmly invite you to join us for the opening of Orchestra of Light, a solo show by emerging artist Melanie Field.
Auckland-based emerging artist Melanie Field will be presenting her first solo show at our gallery in Herne Bay. All works shown are new and exclusive through The Frame Workshop & Gallery.
Melanie returned to study at the Browne School of Art after a successful career as an art director in the publishing industry. Her work is heavily influenced by nature and the mystical. Underlying elements of the natural world – energetics, pattern, rhythm, cyclical phases and relationships are some of her principal areas of interest. Her colour palette is drawn from personal experiences in nature, built up in many thoughtful layers on the canvas.

The exhibition, Orchestra of Light, is inspired by the invisible - hidden realms, what we don’t see, but what we sense. The feeling or energetic experiences in life - we all know how something ‘looks’ but how does it ‘FEEL?’.
Melanie's works are incredibly thoughtful and complex, with some works taking months to come to final completion.

This exhibition is exciting as we will be showing Melanie's stunning textile collaboration with Thread Design in the space, truly showing how art can be incorporated in everyday life.
