Aotearoa is a long road of many bends, breezes, and towns, where our roots thread through the land, tangling us in shared histories.
This exhibition is an exploration of longing, movement, and the call of the horizon. Featuring a selection of paintings, prints, and woodfired ceramics, the exhibition considers our deep yearning for the road — both literal and not.
Together the works that reflect this journey; teasing apart the knots of lineage, carving out a place to call home, and capturing the tension between a need to leave and longing to return. The dream of the road also holds space for rest and contemplation, before and after the journey. Through these varied mediums, the works evoke both the opportunity and isolation of the road, inviting reflection on our own paths — travelled or untaken.
