4x2 showcases ‘paintings’ framed with notched 4x2 timber, bound with muka. The exhibition reflects on the Māori and colonial history of art and architecture in Aotearoa.
Each work reframes and reclaims traditional Māori building methods historically overlooked or discouraged by mainstream industry.
The strength and interconnectedness of mātauranga Māori is honoured by reforming connections between Māori art and architecture, transcending and questioning Western disciplinary boundaries.
