I love woven natural harakeke and the way way you can manipulate it before it dries.

Finally got handles on these two kete which were woven some time ago. The handles are a rounded four strand whiri (plait) made from muka, the fibre extracted from harakeke ( NZ flax). DM for more details.

Day 1 of lockdown was sunny and calm - ideal conditions for dyeing and drying harakeke outside in preparation for a commissioned wall hanging.

Very special to see "From My Garden" hanging in the Academy Galleries in Wellington alongside the other amazing Parkin Drawing Prize finalists. Congratulations to winner Mark Braunias and the merit awardees and all the other finalists. Thanks to Chris Parkin and everyone who make this happen.

Two years ago I happened upon the 2019 Parkin exhibition when visiting Wellington. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine I would have work in it one day. Still pinching myself!

Something different from me - felting. Currently showing in Puanga Matariki exhibition at Greymouth's Left Bank Gallery.

Wall hanging: Owen 1986
Felted vessels: Father #1, Father #2, Father #3

These felted works are a tribute to my father, Owen Neutze (1925-2014). Dad worked
in shearing sheds and was very knowledgeable about wool. He had access to good
fleeces and took up spinning.

However he never got to spin all the fleeces he prepared.
I inherited many boxes of his unspun wool along with his spinning wheel. I catalogued
the wool when I got it some time ago but have not used any since 2013 when I wove
a floor rug as a wedding present for my son.

Recently I attended a Creative Fibre retreat at Ōkārito. Just before I left home, I
quickly grabbed a box of ‘Merino Blk Carded” in case I wanted to do some felting. After
observing for a day, on Sunday I was encouraged to felt a small sample.

I loved how it
turned out as well as feeling a very strong connection to my dad. I knew immediately
what I wanted to do for this exhibition.

Dad had flick carded this unwashed fleece,
sorted it by colour and placed it between layers newspaper dated January and
February 1986. Thirty five years later I have turned it into a wall hanging and three
vessels.

Still finding it hard to believe but very excited

Still finding it hard to believe but very excited and humbled to be shortlisted for the Parkin Drawing Prize 2021. My entry is "From My Garden", the collection of 17 objects "drawn" from plants growing in my garden originally installed in Westland District Library . A huge thank you to Kate Buckley for encouraging me to enter

A productive weekend retreat at Ōkārito with Westland Creative Fibre. Weaving with harakeke (Phormium tenax)and nei nei (Dracohyllium traversii) and felting with some merino wool my father flick carded in 1986 (date from the newspaper between the layers of wool!).
