BOXING DAY, WELLINGTON Exhibit 2025.12.26 Mixed media on linen, oil impasto and absence Dimensions variable The centre has been removed by the artist and replaced with the sound of forks on ceramic, a door opening twice in the same minute, someone saying "sit, sit" to no one who is standing. Note the golden shard at upper left— identified by conservators as a grandfather, though the artist insists it is only light behaving the way light behaves when it has nowhere particular to go. Two profiles share a single jaw. The wall text says: "I'm done." The painting says: "No." Acquired through the permanent collection of having been there. On loan from the family. Condition: ongoing.
