UPCOMING EXHIBITION
July 4th-July 26th
Host
Katharina Jaeger | Shannon Williamson
The dynamic between pīpīwharauroa/Shining Bronze Cuckoo and
riroriro/Grey warbler can be seen as a poignant metaphor for the histories
that shape the places we inhabit. Taking its name from this precarious
relationship, HOST draws on Jaeger and Williamson’s shared love of
assemblage and abstracted anatomy to investigate the mutability of their
own stories of place.
United by a reverence for drawing and a desire to press at it's boundaries
HOST sees Jaeger and Williamson abstract and reassemble fragments
from their respective environments to construct disquieting meditations on
the ways we relate to the structures which sustains us; the land,
architecture, object, body and story. From works on paper to sculpture,
Jaeger and Williamson use drawing as a means of excavating memory and
building connection. Through travelling, collecting, recounting and
assembling the artists embrace conventional and expanded-field disciplines
of drawing to articulate the mental maps and stories we build as we
navigate this complex environment.
