Poems of Tracey Tawhiao

Date2009Reference NumberAms 478Collection SummaryPoems written by Tracey TawhiaoDescriptionTracey Tawhiao (Ngāi Te Rangi, Whakatōhea, and Tūwharetoa) is a prolific artist with a wide range of creative expression including poetry, painting, performance and film making. She is well known for using newspaper as the basis of her practise, obscuring passages of text with block colours and maori symbols and motifs, whilst highlighting short headlines or individual words. Tawhiao’s artistic practise arose from time spent with her grandparents at their Matakana Island home. The walls were covered in newspapers and Tawhiao's idea to brighten the place up was to apply symbols and images directly to the walls. This close connection to the text highlighted to her the negativity implicit in the headlines.
