Overview

In a small conservative town called Greymouth, Sam turns to the colour pink. Breathing new life into an old Anglican church, he creates his home Gloria - a shimmering, bedazzled, hot pink sanctuary. Unlike traditional churches in many ways, Gloria is not filled with people. Instead, he hand crafts paper-mâché parishioners to keep him company, filling the space with companions of his own making. Gloria is a portrait of radical self-expression, quiet isolation, and the enduring life of unfinished art. Is art ever truly finished? Or does it keep evolving like the people who make it?
