To June
The Sarjeant Gallery has one of the finest photographic collections in New Zealand. This small exhibition features a selection of works by three photographers – Laurence Aberhart, Richard Wotton and Peter Peryer of whose work the Gallery has strong holdings of. The commonality between all three photographers is their carefully attuned eye to overlooked interiors, sites, patterns and symbols.
