Nature of Place, 2017 by Mark Wooller $10,500 (from August 9). Mark Wooller is interested in the place names that lose their meaning for those who are unfamiliar with New Zealand’s history or our te reo. He represents signs and flags, which help people to explore and perceive a given landscape, but at the same time are imbued with changing layers of culture and politics. This exhibition has been a long time in the making for the artist — who is based north of Auckland and has worked as a full-time painter for 20 years — it is the culmination of almost a year’s work. Oil on canvas, 110 x 140cm. Warwick Henderson Gallery. Level 1, 255 Broadway, Newmarket.
