Re-construction Re-birth
To take from the past, bring to the present, a treasure for the future.
A collaborative piece by Wirihana Kiriona and Adrienne Riseley.
Adrienne Riseley, artist in residence from Nov 2023 - April 2024, created this work in collaboration with Wirihana Kiriona - a contemporary whakairo artist from Otaki. They discovered discarded original fence palings that once surrounded the property when inhabited by Mirek Smisek and together devised this work. It first appeared at Toi MAHARA and has been gifted to The Mirek Smisek Arts Trust to stand on the lawn, sheltered by native bush.
