The idea of Home is a unifying theme across the broad range of creative practices that form this exhibition from recent graduates of Wintec’s Bachelor of Contemporary Art, Bachelor of Media Arts (Honours) and Master of Arts programmes.
Home can be a sanctuary and a place to rest, or it can be a site of uncertainty. In Gabriel Renner’s works familiar suburban streets are rendered as pop art stories, the ordinary is made vivid with line and unexpected colour. In the photographic works of Lillie Stewart, the once domestic spaces of an abandoned mill show how time eats in on what once was comfortable. This sense of the uncanny domestic is echoed in Jamieson Hudson’s treatment of the soft and inviting spaces of the bedroom cut through with a hint of uncertainty.
Homes are not always literal or direct. For Tristan Zhang the notion of home is complicated by distance and migration. And for Hayden Smith home is a nuanced idea of following your whakapapa lines backward and forward through pūrākau (stories), a journey which is paralleled in Desiree Ratima’s rendering of home as encapsulated in the vast ocean space of the Pacific.
