Bridget Allen
Bridget (she/her, Tangata Tiriti)
Director, The Green Lab
Bridget has a background in contemporary fine art, holding a Bachelor of Fine Arts (majoring in sculpture) from the University of Canterbury, completed in 2002. As a multi-media environmental artist, her practice has led her to explore green sculpture, horticulture, landscape design, community development projects, and conservation efforts. More recently, she has trained in landscape architecture at Lincoln University. Bridget has lived most of her life in Ōtautahi Christchurch, where she has raised her tamariki.
The prints on display are part of a seasonal guide to New Brighton Beach and Cockayne Reserve. This project has received funding from the Lottery Heritage and Environment Fund. Profits from print sales go to The Green Lab to support their work in increasing awareness of local biodiversity.

April’s Featured Artist:
Karl Filipov
Driftwood hunter. Over 35 years of beachcombing and rivers of NZ, South Island. Searching for treasures shaped by nature. Each piece tells its own story. Sculpted by time, tide, weather. These woods, once part of towering native forests, are carried by rivers, reshaped by natuse. Each piece is unique.
