I am very excited to be working with Megan Poppelwell at SPA_CE Gallery Napier, to bring forth my first solo show this year, 'Kotahi'.
The main suite of watercolour paintings in this solo exhibition are a monochromatic exploration into form and iridescent light, running in a similar vein to earlier coffee and ink series collected by Wellington City Art Collection. New works employ motifs that are recognisable as Maaori, yet the images also have an unknown quality to them.
The paintings are a surreal adventure into the abstract world that I explore with my brush. 'Kotahi' is an exploration into the internal world of the Artist, a meditation on the otherworldly, with titles like 'Sound Shell’' and 'Not a puppet to the man' speaking to themes around relationships and our place in the world.
We will also present a series of ceramic tiles, an introduction to the my clay practice, With earthy tones and indigenous shapes, these tiles mimic some of the ideas explored in the works on paper.
