Concept
Corban Estate Arts Centre curator Lisa Rogers invited object artists Ronald Andreassend and Karen Chan to submit artworks for an exhibition celebrating Matariki. Keen to broaden the creative scope, Ronald approached the poets from Metonymy to contribute prose to the exhibit. The successful collaboration resulted in an inspiring show of poetry, light and ceramic design. Global Eyes/Feet/Voice documents this unique event, paying homage to Maori New Year and combining the creative talents of eight New Zealanders
Each ceramic light is conceived as a three-dimensional reconstruction of the poetry written specifically for the Matariki exhibition. The poems reflect the memories and identities of each poet, their interpretations of the meaning of Matariki and their relationship to Aotearoa.
The ceramic shapes are individually pierced with intricate designs and symbols and when illuminated, create patterns on surrounding surfaces. Hand-crafted cast resin details enliven each light with rich, translucent colour and texture, retelling each poet’s words in a new, pictorial form.
Matariki at Corban Estate Arts Trust
7 Ceramic lights with resin objects made by Ronald Andreassend and Karen Chan in reflection of poems written by 6 poets of different backgrounds; Genevieve McClean, Miriam Barr, Daniel Larsen, Renee Liang, Sabrina Muck and Christian Jensen. A collaboration that came from artists meeting through the Metonymy Project
