ABOUT ME

ARTDICK is the artist blog of Dick Whyte. I have been making visual art since 1997 and have exhibited my paintings, films and sculptures in various galleries around New Zealand, including the Peter McLeavy Gallery, Artspace, The Physics Room, 91 Aro Street, DAF 106, the New Zealand Film Archive and the NZ International Film Festival. I am also a member of the experimental band Nova Scotia (with Rick Jensen and Dean Brown), play folk music as Dick Whyte and his Golden Guitar and make musical interventions as Supercomposer. My haiku poetry has been published in numerous journals around the world, including Simply Haiku, Roadrunner, Modern Haiku, Daily Haiku, 3Lights and Frogpond.

NOTE: Often I will place quotes beneath the artworks. These are not intended as authorial readings or interpretations of the work. Nor are they intended to close the meaning of the work. They are simply indications of some of the things that were running through my head when I made the work, or how I see the work now.
