Ngā Tae Whatu - Woven Dreams is an exhibition by artists Ani O’Neill and Nephi Tupaea, currently on at Tim Melville Gallery.
With both artists being members of the Pacific Sisters artist collective, the exhibition shows five new paintings by Nephi Tupaea, and a suite of Ani O’Neill’s crochet paintings in response.
In placing O’Neill and Tupaea’s practices in conversation with each other – intertwined and weaved together – the space embodies the whanaungatanga that fundamentally underlies the Pacific Sisters’ kaupapa.
Sof had a kōrero with Ani and Nephi about the show, the Pacific Sisters, and their overall practices.
