Our gallery space has been transformed by
Bronwynne Cornish for her show
Consulting the Oracle. The Oracles stem from a body of work that Bronwynne begun in Delhi, at an artist's residency at Sanscritti in 2006.
India has one of the highest rates of potters per capita and the
majority of these are village potters, making local deities out of clay.
The first Oracle was made for the show 'Lugosi's Children' at Object
Space in Auckland and as I gathered more mirrors others followed. I
think of the accumulated faces behind the mirrors, all the people who
have looked into them over the years. What were they looking for? What did they see? Look into the mirror and a question may come and maybe, even an answer found. In uncertain times we pursue unusual ways.

The exhibition runs until the 17th of March, and features an 'Oracle Box', where you can consult the oracles and find answers to questions on love, fate, destiny, health, wealth or prosperity.
