Waitai Familiar.

Waitai Familiar, 2024. Still photographic black and white inkjet print and video projection installation at Toi Rauwhārangi

At the outset of 2024, I made a journey with my mother, Marie-Jean, and my father John, to Waitai, the property on Rangitoto ki te Tonga, D’Urville Island, to see for the first time the place that the memories are seated. This work, Waitai Familiar, is the first fledgling iteration made from that experience.
