“Where the circles overlap” 26.09.2025 - 22.10.2025 

Where the circles overlap presents new works by Megan Brady that sit quietly with themes she has been exploring in recent years — ideas of journey and movement, ancestral water bodies, familial observation, and moments of encounter with place, with tūpuna, with compromise, and with care.

Brady draws on processes that echo her broader practice, and materials imbued with personal histories — rimu grown and milled by her partner’s family, embroidery threads from her Nan’s collection — to explore intimacy and connection through form, pattern, arrangement, and function.

The exhibition takes its name from a technique used in gardening — a process in which light and shadow are actively mapped across a space throughout the day to identify areas with the most consistent sunlight. To plant where the circles overlap, is to locate the right conditions where one is most likely to thrive. This idea of convergence for growth underpins Brady’s new works. Mauri ora!
