Maya caught up with Sara Hughes about her current exhibition at Gow Langsford Onehunga, Colour Memories. And Sof had a kōrero with Heidi Brickell about her current exhibition at the Arts House Trust at Pah Homestead, Wā Dividends.  Whakarongo mai x <3

Sara Hughes is a Tāmaki-based artist known for her rich exploration in geometric abstraction through her dynamic installations, and painting practice. Hughes continuously investigates colour and composition—tuning into their own inherent language to produce these dazzling paintings that hold this wonderful capacity for light, movement, and memory.  In her current exhibition Colour Memories at Gow Lansford Onehunga, Hughes presents a beautiful new body of paintings that continues in her exploration of memory, but more specifically to these ideas of artistic influence and lineage. Within Colour Memories, Hughes approaches these ideas of artistic lineage by directly responding to 11 female painters that have influenced her own artistic practice over the years. Bringing both their paintings and Hughes' response paintings into the gallery, creating a space of direct dialogue, response, and exchange between works and artists. Maya caught up with Sara about the show and overall practice. 

Heidi Brickell (Te Hika o Pāpāuma, Ngāti Kahungunu ki Tāmaki-nui-ā-Rua, Rongomaiwahine, Rangitāne, Ngāi Tara, Ngāti Apakura, Airihi, Kōtimana, Ingarangi, Tiamana) is an Ōtaki-based multidisciplinary artist.  Her current solo exhibition at the Arts House Trust at Pah Homestead, Wā Dividends, takes pieces from its larger body, which was originally commissioned by Director Sophie Davis at Te Whare Toi o Heretaunga | Hastings Art Gallery for the exhibition, Wā We Can’t Afford, having been developed in a six-week residency in Heretaunga as the gallery’s inaugural visiting artist.  Bringing this body of work into a new space and context, and retitled as Wā Dividends, here Brickell places these fluent ‘exploded paintings’ in conversation with rimurapa (native bull kelp) sculptural pieces as gathered from the shores of Ōtaki and Te Raekaihau in one space – questioning the value of our time in relation to matauranga Māori, capitalism, and our worsening climate crisis; opening up her practice to fluctuate between the spiritual, relational, and existential.  Sofia caught up with Heidi Brickell about Wā Dividends, beginning their kōrero by asking Heidi about the origins of this body of work and her experience during her artist residency in Heretaunga at the end of last year.
