Kata Brown is a recent Fine Arts graduate from Massey University. As a visual artist, her artistic practice currently centres on themes of mortality and personal symbolism. Through various mediums including painting and drawing, the incorporation of personal motifs and symbols, she delves into her own hidden fears and seeks to understand their origins. She also integrates sounds, objects, and words from her own life, including diary entries, video logs, and social media transcripts. By exploring her childhood memories and personal history, she transforms specific instances into rituals, fears, dreams, symbols, and myths. She has curated exhibitions at the Engine Room and Rice Pudding Gallery and has an upcoming show at Meanwhile.
Rohan Trueman is a recent Fine Arts graduate from Massey University. Their practise centres around the creation of dreamscapes loaded with personal symbology, mysticism and acceptance of the past. Imagery collected from found books, archives and art history are used to build interconnect drawn imagery that provokes a sense of intrigued in looking further into the image and connecting the dots.
Pip Rayner is a multidisciplinary artist, whose Te Whanganui-a-Tara | Wellington-based practice explores elements of the human condition through environmental connectedness, geological surface and subterranean phenomena in solitary times of contemplative introspection. Tactile, sensory engagement through observational drawing and mark-making into sculpture fashioned from salvaged matter and textile waste, woven cocoon-like ovate and sometimes pareidolic forms have become the basis of her research.
Pip is a recent Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa | Massey University Fine Arts (Hons) graduate.
