Marsden's 2018 Artist in Residence was Bridget Rewiti. From Ngāti Ranginui and Ngāi Te Rangi in Tauranga, Bridget's lens-based practice explores landscape perspectives and contemporary indigenous realities. She holds a Masters in Māori Visual Arts from Toioho ki Āpiti, Massey University and a PgDip in Museum and Heritage Studies from Victoria University of Wellington. She has held numerous residencies both nationally and internationally and came to us directly from a 3 month residency in Jogjakarta. Bridget says that she 'enjoys spending time outside and making Art'. In the short time that she was with us she worked collaboratively with many of our students to explore a variety of light based camera processes from camera obscura, cyanotypes and into the dark room to create works that document the Karori flora and fauna around Marsden. The beautiful images produced by Bridget and those created in collaboration with students during the course of her residency were displayed at her 'Tipu' exhibition at the NZ Portrait Gallery, Shed 11 from 26 June to 30 June 2018. |
