Impressions of landscape and locale – both in Otago and Southern Te Waipounamu the South Island, as well as abroad in Germanic Europe – are evoked in the work of artists Inge and Marc Doesburg. Based in Ōtepoti Dunedin, their practices are shaped by their status as residing between Antipodean and European cultural milieus – Inge as a German native who has made her home in Aotearoa for over 35 years; Marc as the child of Dutch immigrants – raised here, but having resided in the Netherlands and Germany during the 1980s.

Trained as a printmaker, Inge’s works explore the landscapes and sensations of her adopted home through print, painting, photography and drawing – the lowering skies of southern lands looming large in her consciousness. Marc’s photography looks for the formal arrangements within a scene, by following a line, or capturing the incidental compositions afforded by architectural elements; often looking to spaces traversed during the course of daily activities, but otherwise discounted.
