Turumeke Harrington, Block party (Tara tara 02), 2024, Whenua, acrylic on board, 180mm x 220mm

Turumeke Harrington has spent the last year gathering whenua from across the motu to produce unique pigments for painting, exploring her own connection with the land while attempting to reconcile this with those ever-looming visual representations of the landscape within our social and art histories of Aotearoa.
