"Into and Around the Tihi" is the first painting of a series of 3 dimensional structures with far reaching panoramic views from maunga and high points throughout Aotearoa. Maungawhau- Into and around the Tihi will be the next 3D painting of the series.
Colour, light, shadow and form, are the main visual concerns. The perception and experience of what we see has been the conceptual undercurrent of my practice. What do we focus on, what do we glance over, how do we experience and interpret a certain place, how is that different to another’s experience?
They Were Young Once is representative of the depth and emerging scope of photography in Aotearoa and brings together the works of NZ photographers, both iconic and emerging in recognition of the creative journey and its origins.
This series examines the metamorphosis of the banal to the extraordinary by an experimental process of decaying Polaroid photographs.
This exhibition celebrates Puanga Matariki as we move forward in 2021. Ten participating artists bring their unique perspectives on Puanga Matariki – Joanne Barrett, Lindsay Antrobus Evans, Liz McAuliffe, Stacey Noel, Tira, Ngaroma Riley, Joanne Kyriazopoulos, Kristina Sokolova, Natanahira Te Pona and Brian Wright.
As part of the Creative Exchange project developed by Depot Artspace with funding support from Foundation North, this exhibition enables two distinct communities, Hokianga and Tamaki Makaurau, separated by distance, resources, and circumstances to come together to share their works, and to create new exhibiting experiences for both artists and audiences.
Join artist, master carver & curator Natanahira Pona to design, construct, and paint your own lantern from earth-friendly materials.
