She explores her sense of place and identity, drawing on her whakapapa to imagine a post-colonial future that foregrounds wahine (women). She states, ‘tūpuna are the conceptual spring, the source…my thinking and intuition combine with the oral history and traditions of my ancestors’.

This work, In death all things become clear, reflects on ancestors that have past and the memory that is left in death, it is also extra special as the frame is made by her late husband, adding a personal layer of meaning around connection, loss, and remembrance.
