#Reposted from @vunilagivou 🙏🏌❀ ・・・ This powerhouse monomono pani (puffer patchwork) project led by @_czarinaz_ reset my faith in the power of art to facilitate healing and hope. ❀‍🔥 It is such a privilege to be able to share it in “To Live + Die in South Auckland” at @freshgalleryotara until 15 June. Deepest gratitude to Vasa Fia, Kaperiela and Aselemo Collins for permission to share it - Vinaka vakalevu. Made in the week following the sudden and tragic death of local leader, Fa’anānā Efeso Collins (1974-2024), Czarina Wilson and I were inspired to make this work to process the shock and sadness, and for me, the deep loss of a friend and colleague. In the days following the announcement of Fa’anānā’s death, we cut almost 2000 squares of fabric assembling a total of 968 double-sided puffed squares, each with four individual pleats. This labour of love was made over five days and nights in between East Tāmaki, Ōtara, Papatoetoe and @celebrate_aotearoa in Glen Innes. On Saturday, it was beautiful and heartbreaking to see the connections and sadness and power of Efeso manifest in the gallery. Powerful to have Czarina meet Efeso’s beloved family for the first time, and for those who supported us and fed us in the process of making this monomono share again what it was to feel the shock and awe of that week, still on a high from his incredible Maiden Speech in Parliament. Thankful, grateful
 powered up by the unbreakable legacy of Fa’anānā Efeso Collins, proud son of Ōtara 274. 🀲🏜🇌🇞❀‍🔥 📷: @mereia_carling, @elizabethkerekere 💪🏜😘 #SouthAuckland #PacificArt #MonomonoPani #CzarinaWilson #Otara #EfesoCollins

Rēhoku Ink on paper (fountain pen). This image is inspired by the sacred tree carvings I saw on Chatham Island in September, and was produced in a session on birth narratives for Myths Revisited class. The originals show specific and mythologised ancestor spirits of the Morori people, which I am not seeking to represent here. This is a free imaginative drawing that simply draws upon that tradition and theme. #royaldrawingschooloddy24 #chathamislands #royaldrawingschool #birthpainting #oddy24 #ink #fountainpen # #justdraw #draweveryday #imaginativeart #treedrawing #nzartist #nzart #islandart #pacificart

I was sifting through my box of linocuts last week & came across this plate that I’d carved 6 years ago as part of my ‘Nostalgic’ series. I’d forgotten all about it so I’ve had alot of fun printing these again. ‘Snifters’ was one of my favourite lollies (or candy) growing up in New Zealand. They were oval shaped lollies with peppermint nougat inside, surrounded by chocolate & encased in a candy shell (aarrgh they were so good!) They were always a familiar treat at the movies & the floors would be littered with the distinctive green & red boxes (littered by others, not me I swear). Anyways it was a sad sad day for New Zealand when in 2009 these iconic lollies that had been gracing the shelves of many shops since I was a kid, was snuffed out due to “lack of consumer demand.” Shame on you Cadbury lol 😫 • • • • • #bringbacksnifters #foreverinmyheartsnifters #kiwilollies #snifters #newzealand #newzealandlollies #nostalgic #growingup #linoprints #linocut #linogravure #linoprinting #printmaker #womenprintmakers #printmaking #printmakersofinstagram #blockprint #reliefprint #printmaking #printmakersofinstagram #pacificartists #pasifika #pasifikaart #polynesianart #samoanart #pacificart #samoanartist #ulaandherbrothers

Last weekend to view Geoffery Matautia’s (@southsides) portraits on the Te Tuhi billboards in Pakuranga and Parnell❗ The three works featured on the billboards belong to an ongoing photographic portrait series titled ‘Community Service: Family Portraits’. Matautia started to work on it in 2023, during a three-month research project sponsored by the Te Tuhi artist development programme Papatūnga. To answer the question “What does service look like as a Pacific artist within your community?”, Matautia reached out to his community on social media, offering free family photographs taken outside of their homes. The resulting photos capture unique family moments and become a heirloom that can be passed down to future generations. Follow the link in bio for more information on the exhibition and the artist. The three works from the series, 'Puiri-Tuia', 'Siolo' and 'Jackson', are on display, in large-scale, on the Te Tuhi billboards in Pakuranga and at Parnell Station until Sunday 5 May at 5pm - viewable 24/7.

Luke Willis Thompson’s new work, “Mouvement des Malades” is on until 18 May at the East Street Church in central Auckland, which I had always thought was an EFKS church. The site was built in 1909 and is a powerful space and environment to consider Thompson’s latest project which was made in/about the famous Church of the Black Christ, Church of St Francis Xavier, Ra Province in northern Viti Levu, Fiji. I loved feeling held by the surround sound of this work, because the almost oppressive din of heavy rain on a tin roof, and the screech of mynah birds, and the non-existent barrier between inside and outside worlds, feels like home. Distinctly, it takes me back to slightly damp sheets, tilted louvres, the rain on leaves, concrete, gravel, earth, the smell of wet
 everything. And shelter. I loved having this experience of this work in central Auckland, and the familiarity of home. Thank you @lukewillisthompson 🙌🏜 I’m so looking forward to spending more time in this space, sitting in my nostalgia 😆 and thinking about the era of the early 1960s when French artist Jean Charlot depicted this mashed up fantasy scene of Christian cosplay. Exciting to see new work by LWT! Last time I saw his work was at the Tate Modern in London in 2018 when he was a Turner Prize nominee and I left feeling so proud 🇫🇯✊🏜 Oh and at Vunilagi Vou in 2019 for our first and last Arcade Talks ❀‍🔥 @michaellettgallery x @coastal_signs_ #TeamFiji #Ra #VitiLevu #MoanaOceania #PacificArt

🐚 😍 Many of you came to the opening of our new exhibition "Wealth & Adornment” to discover the exquisite midi neck piece from the Tolai people of the Gazelle Peninsula, New Britain, Bismarck Archipelago, PNG, Melanesia! Crafted in the 19th/20th century, this stunning piece features Nassa shells, rattan, bush string, vegetable fiber, and trade-cloth, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the region. This rare find was subsequently acquired by a Dutch collector before arriving in our collection. Midi collars like this one were symbols of wealth and prestige, worn on ceremonial occasions and reportedly in combat. Made of cord-wrapped rattan rings adorned with thousands of overlapping Nassa shells, they served as powerful charms offering magical protection to the wearer. Shell money, known as tabu or tambu, was a form of currency among the Tolai people, representing wealth and status. These rings were stored in special houses and played a significant role in the local economy. Despite their historical significance, midi collars and shell money rings were no longer made by the late 20th century. However, following independence in 1975, there was a resurgence of interest in traditional practices, leading to the reinstatement of Nassa shell money in New Britain. 👉 Please, contact us for more information : [email protected] #Culture #MelanesianArt #CulturalHeritage #TraditionalCraftsmanship #Collar #ShellMoney #PacificArt #NewBritain #ArtGallery #Paris
