A deeply moving exhibition highlighting the impacts of World War I opens at the Te Awamutu Museum today. The collection by Hamilton- based artist Elwyn Stone comes to Te Awamutu directly from the National Army Museum at Wai- ouru. Ms Stone’s exhibition of mixed media artworks entitled ‘And When He Was Called He Went’ has already been shown in both Hamilton and Stratford and comes to Te Awamutu’s Gavin Gifford Gallery for just three months, following a hugely successful showing in Waiouru. The collection of artworks is a response to the cataclysmic events of war. Its intention is to recognise the profound effect war has on everyone, not just those who served on the front line. There are 18 pieces in the Vilagrad Winery exhibition including the major work Tears for Our Fallen — 100 years, 100 tears’. Open every Sunday from noon - 4pm This powerful focal piece involves 100 teardrops embel- lished with a remembrance poppy. All the artworks in the exhibition are for sale. Cards and prints of the larger artworks will also be available for purchase from Miss Jefferson’s Curios, the Exquisite Mediterranean Cuisine museum’s retail store. The artist has enjoyed Award Winning Wines creative pursuits throughout her life and completed a Bachelor of Media Arts, majoring in paint- BOOK NOW ing, in 2010. 702 Rukuhia Rd RD2 Ohaupo Hamilton As well as working with paint, Ms Stone also works with print, 07 825 2893 or photography and sculpture.

If you have a photo you would like to share with our readers, now is the time to do it. It can be anything you have taken over the summer, showing how you or your family enjoy `time out', a scene of your favourite spot or perhaps something that has caught your eye. Please make sure the photo is as large as possible (size/ resolution), it is clear and includes caption details and contacts. You need to tell us who took the photo, where it is and who is featured (name, age etc). Don't forget to tell us what is special about the scene/moment/person you have captured.
