Contemporary artist Kate Newby has returned to her family’s property at Te Henga for a peaceful yet productive homecoming.
This story was published on Haven. Kate Newby’s childhood home was a pottery when her parents got the keys to it in the 1970s. At the time, it could only be accessed by gravel roads. They built the house up from a shell, installing upcycled materials, including windows they found on the side of High Street in central Auckland. Set amid the Te Henga (Bethells Beach) bush, the home’s surroundings seem to foster creativity. Kate grew up across the road from filmmaker Briar March and down the way from her mentor, the artist Allie Eagle.

A feature of artist Kate Newby’s practice is the way it is rooted in her observations of the world around her. Signs of this are manifold in
YES TOMORROW, her solo exhibition at Adam Art Gallery Te Pātaka Toi. They include the found glass scavenged from the streets of Wellington that has made its way into the show, and the clay-tile drains that are the inspiration for her installation above the Terrace Tunnel.
