Artists were invited to submit expressions of interest to participate in the delegation.</p> <p>Chair of Te Waka Toi, the Maori arts board of Creative New Zealand, Dr Ngahuia Te Awekotuku says the delegation is a unique opportunity for artists to showcase their work, network with Pacific artists from different countries and represesent Aotearoa.</p> <p>“For the Maori artists attending the Festival of Pacific Arts, this is an opportunity to represent the uniqueness of the indigenous culture of Aotearoa. It is a wonderful forum to engage with other peoples of the Pacific and represent our country with pride”.</p> <p>Pele Walker, Chair of the Pacific Arts Committee of Creative New Zealand concurred, “The chance to participate in the Aotearoa delegation attending the festival comes around only once every four years, so it is a very special opportunity for artists. For the Pacific artists, both those who have immigrated to New Zealand and those born here, the festival presents a chance to reconnect with their Pacific origins while representing new perspectives that are informed by living in New Zealand.”</p> <p><a href="http://www.creativenz.govt.nz/features/pacificartsfestival/artists-one">The artists attending the 10th Festival of Pacific Arts in Pago Pago, American Samoa 20 July-2 August 2008 are:<br /></a></p> <p>VISUAL ARTS<br />1.

The migration of the Polynesians in particular is impressive considering that the islands settled by them are spread out over great distances-the Pacific Ocean covers nearly a half of the Earth's surface area.<br />Most contemporary cultures, by comparison, never voyaged beyond sight of land.<br /><br />CURRENT showcases the work of contemporary artists, many are second generation New Zealanders and while their experiences of their parents Island homes are limited, their interpretation and understanding of their culture is strong. With the exception of Emily Kame Kngwarreye, who passed away in 1996.<br />All the artists represented live in Australia or New Zealand and present a fresh view of an evolving art practice, the art they make stands proudly in a contemporary forum and is no longer fulfilling the role of decoration or function as prescribed in the past.<br /> CURRENT demonstrates the complex and diverse cultural and political beliefs that are represented in the vibrant and increasingly collectable art of Oceania.

Using symbolic materials such as reclaimed blankets to communicate ideas about her First Nations’ heritage, the artist draws attention to simple everyday items in our lives that are infused with meaning, but are often taken for granted. Inspired by Native American blankets and their history, Watt’s wall-hung fiber works, sculptures and lithographs explore cultural identity by combining the ancient form of blanket making with the aesthetic of 20th century modern painting. Her fiber and bronze sculptures investigate cultural connections, from a personal as well as a universal perspective. </p> </td> <td><div align="center"> <br /><p><img src="http://boiseartmuseum.org/exhibit/images/BlanketStackLC.jpg" alt="Marie Watt" height="304" width="240" /></p><span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:78%;" ><span class="style10"> Marie Watt<br /> <i>Blanket Stack Lewis and Clark</i>, 2003<br /> floor-to-ceiling folded and stacked blankets, with reclaimed red cedar bases<br /> Collection of the Artist<br /><br /><br /></span></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328627611082188502.post-55760058755612272232007-07-22T04:19:00.000-07:002007-07-22T05:06:42.194-07:00Return to the hand made life<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjurTRlFyw-GhpXBYjQUnCjuECf9x212Q1wVKroFgbm7geNo_Dll_79bp1CX3CIGvnNZUKZwlDMwe3KnR_kjhfSLKkxyQ20kKX7zuw-2Uor3RyaemHhGkjnSCmMAtwSSdowHZ4V7gBfA5YP/s1600-h/Blogger+the+girls+007.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjurTRlFyw-GhpXBYjQUnCjuECf9x212Q1wVKroFgbm7geNo_Dll_79bp1CX3CIGvnNZUKZwlDMwe3KnR_kjhfSLKkxyQ20kKX7zuw-2Uor3RyaemHhGkjnSCmMAtwSSdowHZ4V7gBfA5YP/s320/Blogger+the+girls+007.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089986813557212738" border="0" /></a><br />My return to the handmade life has been a long but satisfying journey.<br />My pregnancy & the birth of my son (bJuly, 2006) has been the main catalyst in regards to everything I've been involved with art wise so far, since February 2006.<br /><br />Before that, I had been dabbling with drawings & splashes of paint here and there, but I felt downhearted.

I lay these cut out shapes on and around the screen printed images.<br />I really enjoyed looking at the textures & colours, seeing how they felt against one another.<br /><br />For each composition, I always started in the center of the image & worked my way outwards.<br />I worked on one at a time to a point where I felt that was enough, or with some I would do so much, put it a side/.... start some more & then eventually go back to an unfinished work and complete it.<br /><br />I let the clothing dictate the nature of how the work evolved.<br />On some of the collaged works I combined elements of 'drawing' to it, my signature.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328627611082188502.post-69139192650313614222007-07-20T01:32:00.001-07:002007-09-19T17:51:37.148-07:00Niu works by Cerisse Palalagi & Natalie Couch<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI7Kw5AnQNDwiJl1ask1EBSokBoK_NZF5Q_1w_jvufZO2MOI0VInfYOFssXi_t8y3HGZTjtozvcVaHpdL6bHDQeituDpVp-Iy-DNFb1ae0xXmd9LwmyVmK8YnB35vr8e1a8uv2t6p8pt-z/s1600-h/our+girls+009.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI7Kw5AnQNDwiJl1ask1EBSokBoK_NZF5Q_1w_jvufZO2MOI0VInfYOFssXi_t8y3HGZTjtozvcVaHpdL6bHDQeituDpVp-Iy-DNFb1ae0xXmd9LwmyVmK8YnB35vr8e1a8uv2t6p8pt-z/s320/our+girls+009.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089194567341668722" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6OWEqVDtAJhDB-sbf0h-YF7UP5cKArw9BvY1aED_b9Z8g67Aeo4_E4HyUjqV0ontkXpUsE-GGBdi6v1HmEiz-5-hSVA3clYRcMQ22Rc_URbGZvZ-fbja4fGz34v2O2xAk2zBdAPLo7lGH/s1600-h/our+girls+005.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6OWEqVDtAJhDB-sbf0h-YF7UP5cKArw9BvY1aED_b9Z8g67Aeo4_E4HyUjqV0ontkXpUsE-GGBdi6v1HmEiz-5-hSVA3clYRcMQ22Rc_URbGZvZ-fbja4fGz34v2O2xAk2zBdAPLo7lGH/s320/our+girls+005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089194417017813346" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivymgfImVoejU0XsXDvmngLhflV4jG9r3QPspK5Xa7pXJSfiBuU_TDQ8W2ythMnZA1e8inEzqwr0er121HUnzFpgKFVCXe6D1pEUWivLgGU36xrW6JVCa1bOD2N4i0ZwzUAGnDAMeLMbrZ/s1600-h/our+girls+003.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivymgfImVoejU0XsXDvmngLhflV4jG9r3QPspK5Xa7pXJSfiBuU_TDQ8W2ythMnZA1e8inEzqwr0er121HUnzFpgKFVCXe6D1pEUWivLgGU36xrW6JVCa1bOD2N4i0ZwzUAGnDAMeLMbrZ/s320/our+girls+003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089194270988925266" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Working on the Manu prints with artist& friend Natalie Couch, I was about to make a whole bunch of prints in town when I realised I didnt really have time.<br /><br />I soon remembered that I had old prints from a few years back studying at Te kura toi o Buck Nin sitting underneath my bed. ( I was reluctant to throw them out as I always remembered what my old Art teacher Amanda Bade told me, 'Never throw your prints away, even if you think they are ugly at the time, they'll come in handy one day...& you know what, she was absolutely right!)<br /><br />I decided to go ahead & recycle these prints by utilising them in this project. Carefully cutting out shapes, this process allowed me to think about how I might use these on each print.<br />It seemed natural to use these prints in the project as the main colours I had printed in were green, orange & brown.<br /><br />In the Manu project Natalie Couch & I decided on the exact same colours, hows that for a complete coincidence. I think its the Universe's way of arranging things in time exactly as it is meant to work out.<br /><br />We both screen printed the dolls onto paper, then collaged & illustrated them to a pint we felt that they were finished.<br />Initially we were really inspired by the 'Manu' souvenir doll, we were both gifted one as children & they become our connection to all things Maori. We ended up having a play around with her 'features' and presented a few variations of Manu, reflecting the varied features of many Maori women of mixed heritage.<br />The exhibition is at Artstation , 1 Ponsonby Rd, AucklandUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0
