How Long Will This Take w/ Phoebe Mills and Jade Findlay: 17th July, 2026

How Long Will This Take is Poached Galleries inaugural exhibition, showcasing the respective practices of Phoebe Mills, Jade Findlay, Jess Wilcken and Jasper Miller. The show brings together each of their practices like actors on the stage. Their artworks personify into characters performing beneath the lights. Various dialogues emerging between works, an unfixed narrative unfolding as one moves around the space.  Maya caught up with two of the artists from the exhibition Phoebe Mills and Jade Findlay ahead of the exhibition. Phoebe Mills is a Tāmaki-based multidisciplinary artist, whose work explores the notion of observing characters and symbols that arise out of her practice. Attempting to archive these players and their motifs  through various forms of engraving, drawing, casting and painting—an attempt that often seeps into the very disolution of their origins. Jade Findlay is a Tāmaki-based artist whose practice is driven by the exploration of materiality, scale and installation. Seeking to insight a sense of play amongst the works, almost daring the viewer to touch—to physically insert oneself onto the work. Silicone, glass, steel, brass, wood, ceramic and plaster, a coming together of textural senses that are then placed into these depictions of  bodily processes teasing the viewer into the act of play.
