Grateful for your mahi – and for trusting us with it 🧡

Catarina Correia Arnhold’s use of the lone rider, priests, a crowd and holy figures throughout, asks of reality versus imagination, sentimentality versus fantasy, day to day versus the preternatural. An ongoing balance between a welcomed freedom of material and a language of myth, memory, and personal narrative. Spanning both three dimensional and wall bound, each piece is an exploration of the artist’s central symbols of the subconscious, religion and memory.

This is the last week to view 'Thoughts That Make Us Think' – a meeting of Hugo Van Dorsser and Catarina Correia Arnhold’s material worlds. Gallery walls are met with a bold expression of life and an unapologetic exploration into how the artists’ materials can perform on behalf of their intuition and imagination. At times looking back in nostalgia, while others look inward toward the spirit and self.

Catarina Correia Arnhold is a multidisciplinary ceramic artist whose practice centres storytelling, intuition, and the space between reality and fantasy. Born in Salvador, Brazil and based in Lyttelton, Aotearoa, she creates work that merges sculpture and painting, bringing her background in two-dimensional art into dialogue with the unpredictable nature of clay.

Arnhold embraces process and play, allowing forms to emerge through touch and instinct. Drawing on myth, recollection, and personal narrative, her work is influenced by literature, folklore, and religious symbolism, inviting viewers into dreamlike worlds that feel both ancient and imagined. Through bold colour and form, her works become tactile stories, full of potential and presence.

Premonition, 2025, oxides, glazed stoneware, walnut frame with a beech backing, 190 x 230 mm
