Opening Event: 5.30-7pm Monday 15 July 2024
This group show is a celebration of the mahi of local Maori artists making Maori art.
The name literally refers to young spiders leaving the web and metaphorically refers to the way newer artists are nurtured in their developing art practice by those who are more experienced. In this way, it’s a branching dome of support like a spider’s web. This show, therefore, includes the mahi of both new and more experienced artists.
Artists include: Heather Jonson, Ihakara Smith, Geo Thompson-Skipworth, Jess Stevens, Joe Clarke, Maungarongo TeKawa, Redgie Walker-Small, Selena Tapae, Tia Tamara, Tipene Douglas, Toni Neale and Tui Martin. In the Mini Gallery is Gemini Spence, Hohepa Mutu, Kenny Birch, Natasha Sadlier, Susan A. James and Vane Ihe.
Thank you to Ara, Art and Design and Level 7, Year 3 student Geo Thompson-Skipworth, who curated this show with guidance from Linwood Arts staff.
