Ruby Wilkinson is an emerging artist whose paintings explore aspects of the environment, specifically those close to her and her memories. Leaning into her surroundings as well as her painterly intuition to produce these beautiful works that dance with bold swooping gestures, and vibrant earthy colours that sing out to those saturated within nature.  

Her work Parade is currently showing as part of A Moment to Hold at The Arts House Trust at Pah Homestead. An exhibition bringing together seven female artists engaged in painting and drawing, featuring works by brunelle diaz, Hannah Ireland, Christina Pataialii, Johanna Pegler, Kate Small, Barbara Tuck, and Ruby Wilkinson. 


Wilkinson's work Parade showcases a stunning large scale sculptural curtain, made up of 8 calico panels that have each been treated as a painting in itself. Coming together to form a breathtaking display of movement and colour, that pulls viewers into its world of warm sun sets and memories—allowing a moment of hold within the fleeting memories of time.

Elise McDermott is a Tāmaki-based artist, whose sculptural and installation practice explores everyday encounters with nostalgia, memory, and cultures of consumerism and production through found objects and materials. 

In her current exhibition at RM Gallery, Pop Sediment, McDermott has reconstructed and recontextualised these objects’ forms, letting familiar references and playful aesthetics of pop culture and our domestic worlds enter the gallery and public space. In giving them these altered identities, the work serves as an opportunity to reconsider their value, challenging our preexisting conceptions of these objects’ worth through this material language. 

Sof had a kōrero with Elise about the show and her overall practice.

Mitchell McGrath is a Tāmaki-based designer and artist, whose work explores notions of spatial perception through these embodied material explorations of imaging techniques. That is then transferred into works of embodied materiality in spaces, experiences, and objects. 

In his current exhibition at Window gallery A VIEW FOR EACH EYE McGrath presents this beautiful luminescent installation of colour and its shifting movements through space. An exploration of these fluxing wavelengths of chromatic colours in relation to our own bodily position. 

The colours and form shift, and pivot as one moves throughout the space. A dance of colour that rewards a lengthened viewing—a viewing individual to each eye, person, and body, as one devels into the exhibitions shifting chromatic landscape.

Maya had a chat with Mitchell about the show and overall practice.

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.

Brunelle Dias is a Tāmaki-based painter whose practice is interested in the transiency of everyday life and moments. Exploring the past and present, friends and family, Dias offers a site of reflection in capturing these intimate settings – bringing the viewer into her figurative paintings and the often complex interpersonal relationships between herself and her subjects. 

Currently showing as part of A Moment to Hold at the Arts House Trust at Pah Homestead, her work sits with six other women artists engaged in painting and drawing practices – Hannah Ireland, Christina Pataialii, Johanna Pegler, Kate Small, Barbara Tuck, and Ruby Wilkinson. In this space, through a range of subjects, the artists each explore the intricacies of memory, both in their lucidity and haziness alike – using painting and drawing to give form to these ideas through the act of making. 

Sof had a kōrero with Brunelle Dias about the show and her overall practice.

Micheal Proseé is a Tāmaki-based multidisciplinary artist, whose process lead practice navigates its way through painting, drawing, and ceramics.

His current exhibition Scallop Immersion on at Sanc Gallery, delves head first into Proseé's painting practice. Showcasing a beautiful new body of paintings that hum with the residue of its making process. With Proseé building up the surfaces of his paintings, layer upon layer—shifting, adding, responding, and even re-working previous works.

Resulting in these dynamic paintings that display a rich history of paint and its explorative movements along the canvas. With glimpses of past colours and motions peeking out through gaps in form, and revealing themselves through the canvas's edge. An un-folding of layers as one sits in the space, each painting slowly revealing its own vocabulary along with its own unique index of material exploration. 

Maya Caught up with Micheal about the show and overall practice.
