In print: Priscilla Rose Howe on Susan Te Kahurangi King

“We have entered the realm of the otherworldly—the linear, the logical and the structured, folding inward and expanding outward upon the drawing plane. Her way of working has a strong sense of urgency and intuition, her mark-making has a zest that is distinguishably hers,” writes Priscilla Rose Howe on Susan Te Kahurangi King in Issue 00.

In print: Erin Griffey on Claudia Jowitt

“With Fijian heritage on her paternal side, Jowitt literally embeds her family roots––sea and land––into her works by incorporating shells and coral pieces found on the shoreline as well as traditional Fijian materials vau (Hibiscus fibre) and masi (Fijian white tapa),” writes Erin Griffey in Issue 00.

In print: Landshaping: Seeing differently with Conor Clarke, by Maya Love

“With words as her foundation, Conor Clarke walked around her neighbourhood, allowing intuitive associations to guide her choice of site and subject. She used a pinhole camera with no viewfinder, restricting her control over aesthetic choices and allowing for guesswork. The visual is no longer the only means of interpretation. Here, land is something to be smelt, touched, heard, felt and imagined,” writes Maya Love in Issue 00.
