In August artists from Māpura Studios were invited to visit Hui Te Ananui a Tangaroa, the Maritime Museum, and to create an artistic response.
The visit was a generative point of departure and this exhibition reflects the artists’ particular relationship to the ocean. Some of these works narrate the artist’s migration stories, depict specific sailing vessels, and recall watery experiences such as pole fishing and encountering marine life.
Other works render ships, voyages and stories that intonate a more interior journey; the artist's experience of stillness, tumult, intimacy, vastness, departure and arrival. Held tautly within and between each of the works is an awareness of our bodies and lives as bound to the ocean but never completely belonging to it.
