7 September - 15 October 2011

This exhibition showcases a series of new woodcuts inspired by New Zealand's rugby history. Michel Tuffery M.N.Z.M. is a multimedia artist whose art practice embraces painting, printmaking, sculpture and installations. Michel's imagery has been shaped by his research of past and present histories in Polynesia and his personal encounters with the Islands and their peoples. This exhibition of woodblock prints and drawings reveals his empathy with the patterns and symbols of traditional Samoan Siapo (tapa) and Tatau (tattoo) designs tied to a unique contemporary vision.
