Austin, Miriam (2017) Taniwha. [Ceramics, Exhibition/show, Film, Installation, Performance, Sculpture, Site-specific work, Video]

Creators:
Austin, Miriam
Description/Abstract:

'Taniwha' takes monstrous figures from Maori folklore as the starting point for a new body of sculpture, video and installation centred on the complex political issues generated by Western interest in non-Western mythology. In 'Taniwha', Austin explores the links between local mythology, global inequality, and ecological disaster.
