Ngā Tae Whatu - Woven Dreams is an exhibition by artists Ani O’Neill and Nephi Tupaea, currently on at Tim Melville Gallery.
With both artists being members of the Pacific Sisters artist collective, the exhibition shows five new paintings by Nephi Tupaea, and a suite of Ani O’Neill’s crochet paintings in response.
In placing O’Neill and Tupaea’s practices in conversation with each other – intertwined and weaved together – the space embodies the whanaunatanga that fundamentally underlies the Pacific Sisters’ kaupapa.
Sof had a kōrero with Ani and Nephi about the show, the Pacific Sisters, and their overall practices.
Mitchell McGrath is a Tāmaki-based designer and artist, whose work explores notions of spatial perception through these embodied material explorations of imaging techniques. That is then transferred into works of embodied materiality in spaces, experiences, and objects.
In his current exhibition at Window gallery A VIEW FOR EACH EYE McGrath presents this beautiful luminescent installation of colour and its shifting movements through space. An exploration of these fluxing wavelengths of chromatic colours in relation to our own bodily position.
The colours and form shift, and pivot as one moves throughout the space. A dance of colour that rewards a lengthened viewing—a viewing individual to each eye, person, and body, as one devels into the exhibitions shifting chromatic landscape.
Maya had a chat with Mitchell about the show and overall practice.

According to new guidelines by the World Health Organisation, Ozempic-style weight loss drugs are now recommended to combat obesity.
The recommendations in the new guidelines are conditional for now, as the WHO have emphasised that medication alone can’t tackle the worldwide problem of obesity. They’ve also suggested behavioural therapies such as changes to diet and exercise. Overall, the WHO says these medications could play an important role in tackling a condition that affects millions of people globally.
To break down this announcement by the WHO, Wednesday Wire Host Max spoke with Peter Shepherd, a Professor in the department of molecular medicine at the University of Auckland.
