LYYN KELLY:
CENTRAL
Lynn Kelly has had a life-long interest in plants, (including studying Horticulture). In 2012 she was awarded a Wild Creations residency (a partnership between the Department of Conservation and Creative New Zealand which combines conservation and art) and spent six weeks in Bannockburn, Central Otago.
This offered Lynn the opportunity to investigate this area, where she was inspired by the rich diversity of wildlife and landscape.
Lynn’s new work celebrates this environment, acknowledges the 150th anniversary of the discovery of gold in Central Otago and its impact on the region plus has provided innumerable long-lasting reference points and stimulus for her continued work.
