Pākākano w/ Shona Tawhiao: June 2, 2023

This week, Frances chatted to artist and Māori fibre weaver Shona Tawhiao, who has created new semi-abstract sculptural forms based on seedpods, a powerful metaphor for renewal of life forces. 

Pākākano celebrates the traditional skills of raranga while proposing a new and important way at looking at weaving as its own standalone entity, challenging, exciting and inspiring. It's on at Te Uru Waitakere Contemporary Gallery 03 June - 03 September 2023.
