Richard Lewer, “I Must Learn to Like Myself”

Waikato Museum

Until August 15

 

Across one wall of Richard Lewer's survey show at the Waikato Museum, the artist has drawn an almost life size facade of a standard suburban house.

 

It is the sort of bleak image of a dwelling that occurs in several of his works and has something of the gothic aspect which haunts the works of Ronald Hugh Morrison.

 

It would have served brilliantly as the set for the recent Auckland Theatre Company’s production of Horseplay, which tells of a meeting between James K Baxter and the Hawera based Morrison.
