"As they sit, statuesque like some ancient cat statue of worship, contemplating mice, we sit with them."

Contemplating Mice
Nicole Page-Smith, a Melbourne artist, currently exhibiting in Dunedin, New Zealand, has a small exhibition of her recent, 2015, cat photographs, a series called "Contemplating Mice", on display and available for view, at the Harris Smith Museum, of art. This small contribution, to a continuing exhibition series, on display, complements the Harris Smith collection. The Harris Smith Museum was established in 2001, incorporating three commercial venues, now including two factory warehouse addresses in the Bond Street location, the address is open by appointment, for review.
"Contemplating Mice" is a series of photographs influenced by continuing travel overseas. Japan celebrates many important photographers who are well known for their street photography. Cats are as synonymous with the Japanese photographers of worth as they are with the French photographers, who also are frequent with the little furry creatures of the night, or cats prowling around the neighbourhood. Other exhibitions of note included German and New York photographers. The most famous cat sculpture would have to be by Alberto Giacometti, as well loved by the French as Giacometti's ascension theory, figurative sculpture. Etruscan art would hold another tribute to the gods, the "Chimera", one of the most famous art history requirements.
Nicole Page-Smith, established her career in Melbourne and Sydney Australia, with three successful, solo, commercial, exhibitions and several group exhibitions, in both commercial and public galleries. Page-Smith's work is highly regarded in Australia and New Zealand, where, Page-Smith, has shown alongside other established names like the New York artist, Philip Guston, along with the contemporary Australian and New Zealand artists, Callum Morton, Tracey Moffatt, and Rosalie Gascoigne. The Harris Smith Museum, established exhibitions from the container contents of two successful productive studios from both the Jeffrey Harris and Nicole Page-Smith, Melbourne studio addresses. Harris had an established inner Melbourne studio, near the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) whereas Page-Smith, frequented an inner city studio, right in the heart of the Melbourne metropolis, a New York style, fifth story, address in the heart of the fashionable, CBD, shopping district.
Since, 2008, with the welcome review of response from Germany, through to New York, Nicole Page-Smith has continued working on her casting project, completed several bodies of pencil drawings, continued her photography project and established a more philosophical view. Writing is the requirement. Book establishment is needed. The catalogue requirement for the Harris Smith Art project is to describe work established by Nicole Page-Smith for international review. This is contributed with requirement and an established blog posting including the Nicole Page-Smith circle is for recommended review. Contributions are contributed to, weekly.
Along with the established address of the Harris Smith Museum, the established studios sometimes contribute to local Dunedin and the broader spectrum, participation. Nicole Page-Smith was contributed in a local group exhibition in the Dunedin Botanical Gardens in recent years, this well regarded exhibition included contemporary local and established order. Another venue was to include fashionable, contemporary, New Zealand, artist names. Both contemporary exhibitions were well received by the general public. The contemporary venues, the Harris Smith team, exhibit in professionally, have enjoyed regular press coverage by way of art magazines and the press. In the early days of Dunedin life, Nicole Page-Smith's first photograph to enjoy acclaim was the portrait photograph, of Jeffrey Harris, on the cover of Art New Zealand, a magazine the Harris Smith team have had regular contribution to both in review and commercially.
Nicole Page-Smith looks forward to the current exhibition, "Contemplating Mice" and to the general public's response. Further detail will be contributed to on the social network calendar so, be informed. The Harris Smith Museum looks forward to your contribution. Best wishes.
"Contemplating Mice", an exhibition of cat photographs by Nicole Page-Smith, will open at the Harris Smith Museum, of art, venue, on Friday the 19th of February. The exhibition will continue until Friday the 18th of March, 2016, or by prior arrangement.
