Ramonda Te Maiharoa & Irene Schroder - 'The Fishermen's Daughters'
Canaday Gallery, 18th March–5th April 2009
Ramonda Te Maiharoa was born in Bluff, Aotearoa, training at the Brisbane Institute of Art, and working in Australia and New Zealand. Jane Zusters comments: her imagery invites us ‘to contemplate how in the creation of these comfortable [Southland] rooms the nests of birds have vanished. We are asked to imagine a world in which the bird chorus that greeted Cook’s ship has returned and we are one with the natural world.’ Irene Schroder is a ceramicist who graduated from Sydney’s University of Technology. Her art is informed by an engagement with the land and celebrates the materials of her practice.
