Waipunarangi - New Works by Joanna Dudson Scott

A series of large-scale landscape paintings by Marlborough artist Joanna Dudson Scott are informed by Matariki’s rising in 2020 – the emergence of the mid-winter star cluster signalling the Māori New Year - and historical narratives from the Marlborough Sounds. The culmination of a three-year project the series of works in Waipunarangi probe the artist’s interest in conveying a sense of place and kinship with the environment.
