Skye Lunson-Storey (Whakatōhea, Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Tūwharetoa) is a Tāmaki-based artist whose practice explores climate change, urban infrastructure, site-responsive approaches, and Indigenous futurisms through various media – primarily working across moving image, sound, and sculpture to dissect her subject matter.
Her current solo exhibition at Window Gallery, Te Mauri o te Wai, takes its name after Auckland Council's freshwater vision to protect and enhance the life-sustaining capacity of water – responding to the 2023 Auckland Anniversary Day floods and the ongoing failures of our urban water infrastructures through this sculptural installation.
In Te Mauri o te Wai, concrete, steel, wool, rainwater, and harakeke act as vessels to resound the loss of wetlands in Aotearoa, holding great memory, mauri, and agency as materials. Here, the artist asks how we might shift from containing water to living with it – imagining a future where natural materials and infrastructures are treated as a healing aid and collaborator in our relationship with water.
Sof had a kōrero with Skye about Te Mauri o te Wai.
Briana Jamieson is a Te Whanganui-a-Tara based painter who produces luminous oil paintings through her expanded meditative painting practice. Leaning into her love of writing and poetry, allowing the words to call out to her paintings, and in turn the paintings to her poetry.
In her current exhibition at Sanderson Contemporary, Garden Day, Jamieson produces a beautiful body of paintings that are inspired by her time spent at her local community garden. Planting patches of flowers that she tends to, and shares with her local community. This love of gardening cross pollinating into her painting practice, with Jamieson producing these glowing dream-like oil paintings of flowers and butterflies.
A Symbiosis of gardening and painting that pulls viewers into this warm embrace of nature and its tranquility.
Maya had a chat with Briana about the show and her overall practice.
