David Elliot’s “The Wind Between the Pages” Exhibition
Now on at the Dunedin Public Library, until 27 October 2024
It was ironic that the storm which devastated parts of Dunedin began as we arrived in the city. Falling rain and bitterly cold winds continued for the two days we were there.
A delightful highlight was a visit to David
Elliot’s exhibition now on at the Dunedin Public Library. It celebrates the
wind and weather (and strange creatures) of literature. There could be no doubt
about the nature of the storms that David Elliot celebrates in his work; we got
out of Dunedin a few hours before floods and slips blocked State Highway 1.
I have pasted a few samples from the exhibition to persuade
you to go and see it. If you can’t make it to Dunedin, the superbly efficient
Dunedin Public Library have set up a website that allows you to browse all twenty
cases.

As one raised in Sawyers Bay and Port Chalmers, I recognise the geographical features these winds are buffeting in David’s illustration. Harbour Cone, Quarantine Island, Goat Island and Back Beach are all hinted at here:
