Artist list
Areta Wilkinson
Through studio practice and applied research, artist Areta Wilkinson expresses concepts of Ngāi Tahu whakapapa (genealogy links and relationships) and mahinga kai customary sites of natural resources and cultural production. Like her ancestors before her, she utilises local resources for the task at hand – hammerstones from the Waimakariri and Rakahuri Ashley Rivers, local pigments, clays, and gold.
Layers of relationships to the past are ever-present. Through photograms of moa butchery bones and refuse from early campsites, 3D prints of archaic artifacts used for mark-making on ceramics, shapes, and forms referencing historic Ngāi Tahu visual culture.
Time: 25 Nov, 6 pm UTC+01.
Free entry.
