    Wellington Architecture book

    • 25 Apr 2022
    • Eye of the Fish
    • Hello again, and welcome back to the Eye of the Fish. I had quite a bit of work to do, and then I needed a holiday. And what did I do on holiday? Well, I read books, of course! Yes, I am one of those old-school types that still prefers a written book to an online presence, and so I’ve been really pleased recently to see the publication of “Wellington Architecture – a Walking Guide“, a new guide book to the architecture of the capital. It’s great! I love it! And I’ve read every word and looked at every picture, from cover to cover.

    Tether

    • 1 Nov 2022
    • Black Coffee
    • <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > This collection of abstract works explore the common thread that runs through the human experience and into the natural world. With contrasting tones, botanical and native New Zealand plant illustrations, the thread we all share returns to the earth to be reformed again and again. My journey with mental health almost always finds its way into my art practice, where I predominantly explore expressions of the 'self' and consciousness. Painting and illustration have been my preferred medium throughout the years, and my use of abstraction allows the viewer the opportunity of "tethering" their own journey to each piece.

    The threat to the Central Library

    • 3 Apr 2024
    • Wellington Scoop
    • For many of us, the word “library” has comfortable connotations. It suggests rows of books in which to browse, make discoveries and pass them on to friends and family. Beyond being a resource centre for culture and practical information, a typical library is also a community meeting ground and a safe drop-in space for kids after school. It is also one of the relatively few public destinations in town where people don’t have to spend money. At present, the content and function of libraries – and the funding for them – are in flux. Those on higher incomes don’t need or use libraries as much.

• • Lizzie has come home

    • 12 Aug 2010
    • Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club (Inc)
    • Just over one hundred years after she was built, in almost the same spot, Lizzie has returned home. On a lovely Wellington afternoon and with a spring tide sailing academy manager Matthew Wood joined Gavin Pascoe and his team of Lizzie supporters to tow her around to Clyde Quay Boat Harbour from Evans Bay. With a few strategic hits of a hammer the slipway jumped back into action and before you knew it Lizzie was back in her birth place. Gavin and his team will now begin restoring her back to her former glory and we look forward to her flying the club burgee and sailing again on the Harbour.

    Apartments Dead

    • 10 Jul 2010
    • Eye of the Fish
    • As the song went, “there’s a fine, fine line between pleasure and pain”. And so it is with the apartment market in Wellington, and my compulsion to write on this blog. One minute it seems like its not worth continuing with the blog as nothing much is happening on the Wellington construction scene, and the next minute – oh my god, they’re reporting about possibly tearing down the Event Centre, about apartment projects going phut, about Soso Apartments causing the death of the entire apartment scene in Wellington, the end of the Parade Cafe, the luxurious Pet Palace costing pussy an arm and a leg, and many more.
