Our exhibition is a selection of kakahu and raranga from our talented weavers. Each week there will be something different to see. We meet twice weekly in our whare, Te Kokonga Pouri, Highbury Avenue, Palmerston North.

My work is inspired by the Pacific Islands. I have always loved the lush, tropical landscape of the islands and a lot of my prints reference the botanical plants of the Pacific. All the images in this exhibition is sourced from our trips back to Samoa and also Fiji when we did a stopover trip there. This exhibition considers the importance of food in Samoan culture; it represents bringing agia (family) together as well as preserving and growing food from the Pacific.

Jessica is a Manawatu-based artist working with constructs of femininity through domestic spaces. The spaces employ elements of liminality and make use of a feminine colour pallet to explore ambivalence of femininity in transitional home- environments. Many of the space are of personal significance or experience as a representation of everyday thoughts and emotions of a young woman’s sense of domestic space and relationship to home. The spaces are typically empty to allow for viewer projection of their own memories with domestic spaces.
