Tim Li
Te Tini A Tangaroa
24 Mai – 4 June 2023
Acknowledging the fact that our oceans are under siege, Tim’s works highlight both the beauty and sanctity of Te tini a Tangaroa (The multitudes of Tangaroa). This exhibition is an opportunity to slow down, to question our own sense of kaitiakitanga, and to engage with the subject of ocean sustainability.
Audiences will get up close and personal with the diversity of aquatic fauna that populates New Zealand’s waters, through traditional gyotaku prints and scientifically accurate pencil drawings.
“I want people to observe the detail, beauty and complexity of our endemic marine species, and honour the taonga that we have been passed down from Tangaroa.” – Tim Li
