Antoinette Ratcliffe: Exit From The Sick Bay

Antoinette's studio is overrun with zombie animals, and now they're taking over Thistle Hall...

It's time for a studio clear out, so come along to Thistle Hall to rehome a zombie or one of their friends. The treats will include classic Plush Room characters that have been installed in venues around New Zealand such as Galatos, Dim Gal', Ramp Gallery and Draw Inc, along with some new Sick Bay characters who will be making their debut at Thistle Hall. Antoinette completed her MA at The School of Media Arts in 2011 where she created an installation based project that has become 'The Sick Bay'.

This year, Antoinette has shown in 'Call and Response' at the Sculpture Park in the Waitakaruru Arboretum in Tauwhare, and in the 'Welcome' group show at Satellite gallery in Auckland. She is currently getting ready for her solo show at Satellite Gallery 'Cauterizing Schrodingers cat'. Her work has also previously been shown at the Waikato Museum of Art and History, in Auckland and Hamilton Fringe festivals, at Ramp Gallery, and she has had numerous solo and group shows in artist run spaces in New Zealand. Photographs of Antoinette's work are posted regularly on her website, www.the-sick-bay.com.
