Shared histories and stories that cross over and connect and connect to the Whenua (land) here and far away. Sitting in the bodies of our ancestors and knowing that the impossible is possible. ”

Sunday Girl

Sunday Girl, a pop up exhibition  at Corban Estate Art Centre. A massive thank you to the curator Leela Bhai  and to everyone who came along. This is my piece: ‘a woman work is never done’ please zoom in for the details!

From the program: ” This all-female group show is a platform for expressing and sharing a woman’s worldview as we operate our multi-tasking layered lives as daughters, sisters, mothers, partners, thinkers, givers, workers, and creatives.
25 diverse artists will be celebrated – it is a spotlight on the female artist and a challenge to the bias that exists in the commercial art world.
Curated by Leela Bhai, this annual exhibition will consist of established, experimental and unexpected artists, all encouraged to exhibit under a pseudonym. Artist names vary from poignant symbolism, personal anecdote, or just plain silliness, with the tales of their origin often shared on opening night. Each piece may represent a past self, vision of a future self, or a particular thought pattern from half an hour ago and the wide range of mediums reflect the diverse range of women participating in the show.”
