Being

Creative visual thinking is fundamental to us all as human beings as we strive to understand our sense of self and the world. Chartwell seeks to deepen understanding about the importance of art and creative thinking for our future and our wellbeing.

Making

Chartwell supports artists as they make and think. Making is an active and connected process, involving the interaction of intention, intuition and intellect with the mediums of the world. Chartwell is making too - making a difference through philanthropy and enabling access to creative activities and research.

Description

While internationally renowned as a contemporary Australian artist, Rosalie Gascoigne always considered herself to be a New Zealander. During the last years of her life she retained close ties with Auckland, the city of her birth.

The title is a witty response to a fashion term that refers to a textile assemblage. (Local Atlas: Contemporary New Zealand and Australian Art, 2004)
