Tauranga Art Gallery - Toi Tauranga

MY SHIP Tënei Wakahëra - 3:00pm Sat 31 Oct 2009

Floortalk by Tracey Williams.


Williams explores the idea that cultural artifacts are often associated with fixed identities and meanings, but can be used in manner that challenges our preconceptions. Her considered approach to layered contexts and hidden meanings allows the often overlooked, underlying narratives to unfold.

Williams has constructed a custom-made ship to symbolise the cultural connections of Tauranga’s waterfront, and by introducing various elements such as textiles, challenges us to critique these narratives.

Floortalk will be followed by artist's reception at 4.30pm.
