Mataaho Collective

This new large-scale work on the Gallery’s Big Wall is led by the ancestral narratives of Tokohurunuku, Tokohururangi, Tokohurumawake and Tokohuruatea, the four winds, or the pillars of the sky. Inspired by the dynamic visual language of hukahuka whakarākei, the adornments of customary kākahu, this installation is being developed as part of the Dunedin Public Art Gallery Aotearoa Visiting Artist programme, supported by Creative New Zealand Toi Aotearoa.
