Someday My Prince Will Come w/ Timothy Webby: 3 July, 2026

Timothy Webby is a Tāmaki-based multidisciplinary artist whose recent practice explores the metaphorical and physical possibilities of the photographic medium. Webby combines these beautiful silver gelatin prints with a method of hand colouring and dying, carefully restoring colour to black-and-white images, resurrecting their apparent stillness into these considered multi-media works. In his current exhibition at Coastal Signs, Someday My Prince Will Come , Webby presents a beautiful new body of images taken at Disneyland. Here, Webby heeds the marvel of Disneyland but also its ambiguity, viewing Disneyland as not just a site of amusement but a site of personal introspection and reflection, too. Images of Cinderella’s glass slipper, spinning teacups, and carousels alike, Webby’s images reveal an intersection between enchantment and uncertainty, joy and uncomfortability, carefully utilising colour to highlight these sensual details of an image, emerge it entirely, or replicate its reality.
