12. Lonnie Hutchinson Lonnie Hutchinson (Ngai Tahu / Samoan) is a multi-media, visual, installation and performance artist who exhibits both nationally and internationally. With an artistic practice and visual language of such richness and breadth it is her works made from black builders’ paper that have become the most recognisable strand of her work. Projecting outwards into three dimensional space these ‘cut outs’ manage to embody both a sense of ephemeral delicacy and the strength and stability of a mountain range; Her works speaks to the dualisms of then and now, black and white, ancestors and friends and whanau of today.

14. Using a symbolic language of shapes, patterns and motifs drawn from both Maori and Samoan cultural forms; the traditional arts of Pacific women such as siapo (tapa), tivaevae (patchwork) and weaving, and contemporary pop cultural forms like hip hop, Hutchinson’s ‘cut outs’ narrate stories and issues of gender and cultural identity. Often her sculptures resemble items of female attire such as capes, skirts or veils, all of which evoke states of protection, concealment and refuge.

16. “Lately I have worked almost exclusively with white paper in different objects, paper cuts, installations and performances. A large part of my work is made from A4 sheets of paper. It is probably the most common and consumed media used for carrying information today. This is why we rarely notice the actual materiality of the A4 paper. By taking away all the information and starting from scratch using the blank white A4 paper sheet for my creations, I feel I have found a material that we are all able to relate to, and at the same time the A4 paper sheet is neutral and open to fill with different meaning. The thin white paper gives the paper sculptures a frailty that underlines the tragic and romantic theme of my works. “ Peter Callesen Born 1967 in Denmark
