Turumeke Harrington’s new exhibition Gentle Ribbing is a birth, a coming into being with a lifetime ahead. The exhibition of sculpture and major installation features a huge, brightly coloured quilt. Much like birth itself, the quilt represents hours of labour, boredom, procrastination and a triumphant finish. Harrington divides the gallery space to reflect her interpretation of birth in Māori cosmogony.
Turumeke Harrington is a Ngāi Tahu artist based in Pōneke Wellington, living with her daughter and partner. She has a background in industrial design and fine arts. An interest in whakapapa, space, colour and material sees her creating large sculptural installations at the intersection of art and design.
