STUDIO BIBLIOGRPHY: 2022-23
“In many ways, we must distinguish between God’s creative act and human creativity, but at the same time, the theology of making assumes that human creativity echoes God’s character and is made in God’s image in some way. I am not trying to define the original creator in human terms. I am stating a presupposition up front that the definition of ‘Art’ may need to be redefined by biblical and Godly terms, and that God is the only true Artist that exists.”
–‘ The Sacred Art of Creating, Art + Faith, A Theology of Making ‘ 2020. By Makoto Fujimura.

The pa of the valley were thought to be at
1) The end of Pohutukawa Avenue above the Shelly Park Sandspit, now covered in suburban housing.
2) Near the Trig Station in Somerville Road. This was bulldozed by the farmer many years ago and destroyed.
3) On the ridge top in Broomfield’s Road, Turanga Pa, between the Mangemangeroa and Turanga River. This is now occupied by a large house and bulldozed.
4) Above the Mangemangeroa concrete bridge on the western side.
5) Opposite the end of Hayley Lane road is Mangemangeroa Pa. This bush covered pa on a ridge above the Mangemangeroa Stream is well preserved and owned privately by a lady willing to sell to Auckland Council. Auckland Council should urgently buy this pa site as an added attraction to the Mangemangeroa Reserve. This is strongly supported by Ngai Tai iwi.

Photographs of Northland.1 “Maori labours digging a drainage ditch in the Kaitaia wetlands, Northland (North Island). Despite many Maori opposing the draining of wetlands, many Maori participated in draining operations employed as labourers by the Department of Public Works. Such work was one of the few waged-jobs available for Maori in rural areas, with economic necessity seeing Maori choose to partake in such schemes even if they objected to such practices.”

Half Tide Touring (2003) -Janine Randerson
3 min 47 secSingle channel / Digital Video / Colour / Sound
“Half Tide Touring is a video and audio installation for one oblong perspex projection screen. The work records the ‘terrain vague’, or the semi-inhabited mangrove swamp on the city fringe in Coxes Bay in Auckland. Steps cut into a bank, old tyres, a homeless man’s raft all suggest human inhabitation in one of the city’s overlooked places. The work is made up of 10 second shots which are fixed, but because the camera is set on a boat, the frame rocks unsteadily. The pace of the film increases as the tide recedes and it becomes necessary to get back to shore.”- https://www.circuit.org.nz/work/half-tide-touring

“Through audio-visual modes of gifting and listening, we approach Haupapa as ancestor, a shape-shifting collaborator. Tiny bubbles of ancient breath and atmosphere are pressed inside Haupapa’s glacial ice – including sea breezes, pollens, carbon dioxide and methane, as well as the ash of Australian fires. We collectively attune to the glacier through Kai Tahu cosmologies, instruments of science, audio hydrophones and underwater camera receivers to more-than-human scales of aural and visual perception.” https://tetuhi.art/world-weather-network/haupapa-project/
“To Burn, Forest, Fire is an artwork by Katie Paterson that uses scent to explore the first-ever forest on Earth, and the last forest in the age of the climate crisis. The artwork employs the senses to cultivate an intimate, intuitive experience that aims to transport participants through time as a reminder of the increasing levels of extinction caused by humanity.“ http://to-burn-forest-fire.com/
