Pattern Painting Workshop with Fa'amele Etuale

This workshop is held alongside Fa’amele Etuale’s solo exhibition Remember Me which will be running until February 5 2022. This exhibition of works by Sāmoan (Laulii, Malie, Leufisa, Tufulele) / Chinese visual artist, contemporary Pacific jeweller, designer, florist and lei maker Fa’amele Etuale. Her work pays homage to her alofa (love) for her a’iga (family), God, culture and grief. Contemporary jewellery offers a medium to capture and archive memories through the objects she creates. Fa’amele’s process is indicated by pivotal moments in her life; adornment has created a structure for her to encase, reflect and release emotion.
