Scultpure on the Shore in Tamaki Makaurau winds up this weekend. The biennial exhibition has been showcasing more than 120 artworks by both established and emerging artists. Located at the clifftop park of Operetu Fort Takapuna in Devonport, the three-dimensional pieces come with sweeping views of the Hauraki Gulf. From multi-metre high sculptures, colourful works to light and sound installations - it's now in its 29th year. Works at the exhibition are for sale and proceeds from the event go to Women's Refuge New Zealand - supporting women and children fleeing domestic violence. One of the artists exhibiting is Taranaki-based artist Milarky whose sculpture "Lost in Phone" captures the "posture of his generation". He speaks to Culture 101 about his recurring spacesuit protagonist and setting up his New Plymouth studio and gallery.

Artist Josh Lancaster doesn't want you to look too closely at his paintings. Instead, he hopes his work will transport people to moments in their lives and evoke their memories. Josh is now based in Hawke's Bay but grew up in Auckland - with much of his childhood spent rambling and exploring the lush greenery and the giant trees of Cornwall Park. His new solo exhibition A Tree Story: Portraits of Cornwall Park at Turua Gallery in St Heliers in Auckland pays homage to the well-known and beloved space which has become a place of comfort and nostalgia for him. Known for his clear lines and distinctive landscapes, his work often captures a slice of Kiwiana paradise. His paintings now in homes around the world including Hong Kong, Dubai and London - and before painting he had a successful decade-long career in advertising. Josh Lancaster speaks to Culture 101.
