Robin White
Island Life
22 July 2005 - 25 September 2005
This vibrant large-scale exhibition by Robin White brings together works created over a lifetime in New Zealand and Kiribati. In 1999 Robin White returned to New Zealand after living on Kiribati, the former Gilbert Islands, for more than ten years. During her time away her imagery transformed from New Zealand Buzzy Bees and green landscapes to the colours and symbols of island life in the Pacific.
Exhibition toured by the Hocken Collections, University of Otago.
