Book Launch: Gloria of Greymouth

Please join us in celebrating sculptor and poet Sam Duckor-Jones' latest publication. In 2020 he bought an abandoned church in Greymouth and named her Gloria.

With yarn-bombed rafters, a costume bazaar, a plush loft, papier-mâché parishioners in the pews and pink neon light bouncing off a rhinestone piano, Gloria has become a celebration of queer creativity.

Gloria of Greymouth is a chronicle of a magnificent transformation, a manifesto for play and pleasure, and the story of an artist’s being.
