Between Light & Line
Quiet Luminance and the Space Between Form
A group exhibition at Ashe showcasing original artwork by Sarah Albisser, Amy Hoedemakers, Moonvi (Viktoria Karaman), and Elizabeth Wood.
Join us for an evening of art, artist talks & refreshments as we celebrate the opening of our March group exhibition.
Between Light & Line: Quiet Luminance and the Space Between Form brings together four artists whose diverse practices explore illumination, contrast, thoughtful materiality, and how visual language and spatial experience shape meaning. Across ink, pastel, abstraction, and tactile fibre work, the exhibition examines how light can be expressed both visually and conceptually - whether in the quiet glow of atmospheric colour, the interaction of line and surface, or the way texture and form respond to the viewer’s presence.
Sarah Albisser (Visual Artist - Wellington) investigates presence through line, where light and shadow dance within restrained compositions. Her use of contrast and occasional metallic surface invites viewers to perceive luminescence emerging from simplicity.
Amy Hoedemakers (Visual Artist - North Canterbury) abstract practice leverages colour, balance, and intuitive gesture to build immersive fields of form where light is felt through relationships between shapes and tones, rather than depicted directly.
Viktoria Karaman - Moonvi (Textile/Fibre Artist - Christchurch)contributes tactile fibre-based works inspired by nature, where texture and colour interact with light and shadow. Her practice adds a sensory, meditative layer to the exhibition’s exploration of illumination.
Elizabeth Wood (Visual Artist - Mount Maunganui) captures the essence of light through her layered landscapes, reflecting place, memory, and atmosphere. Her works suggest a quiet glow that radiates from horizon to foreground, evoking Aotearoa’s dynamic environments.
Together, these practices form a shared visual language of contrast, glow, form, texture, and spatial awareness. Between Light & Line invites viewers to consider how illumination - both literal and metaphorical - shapes our perception of form, surface, and meaning.
