We are a collaboration between four Māori women who produce large-scale installations with a single authorship.
Established in 2012, our conceptual framework is grounded in the contemporary realities of Māori customary practice.
our most recent work
Tuakirikiri (2023)
An 8m x 8m x 4m installation of hi-vis orange and grey tubular webbing, S Hooks and Cam Buckles, this work is dedicated to Hinetuakirikiri, the influential ancestor of small rocks.
This installation was developed for ‘soft and weak like water’ the 14th Gwangju Biennial with support from Creative NZ.
Takapau (2022)
Made up of 200 sqm of woven reflective truck strops, Takapau was curated by Dr Nina Tonga for Te Papa Tongarewa, the National Museum of New Zealand. This installation is an ode to examples of fine ceremonial woven mats in the museum’s collection, the research of Dr Ngahuia Murphy, and the legacy of artist Kura Te Waru Rewiri.
Tīkawe (2022)
Our first time using harakeke as the practical material in a large-scale installation, this work draws inspiration from ancestral techniques and technologies. Curated by Dr Melanie Oliver, Tīkawe was commissioned by Christchurch Art Gallery and purchased by the W. A. Sutton Trust.
