Postcards from Jessica Gurnsey

Opening night: Fri 28th August. 7.30pm - 10.30pm. Mercury Baypark Stadium, Tauranga.

Earlier this year, I travelled through Central and South America. I moved from the beaches of Rio de Janeiro to the salt flats of Bolivia, the active volcanoes of Guatemala, and to the bustling cities and small coastal towns of Mexico.

The people, colours, and landscapes were all postcard-worthy, but it was the moments in between that truly inspired this collection. Music spilling into the streets, late-night conversations, and the warm light hitting crystal clear beaches.

Postcards from Jessica Gurnsey is my way of bringing some of those moments home.
