Threads of Connection explores the visible and unseen ties that bind people, stories, and creative practice. Like woven threads, these connections move between generations, communities, and the natural world.
Featuring Guest Artist Darcy Nicholas with new works, alongside Que Bidois, Arohanoa Mathews, Garry Webber, Alie Henderson, and Alison Badger, the exhibition reflects a bicultural exchange grounded in shared knowledge and creative dialogue.
Threads appear in many forms: fibre and weaving in textiles; line and pattern carved into wood; gesture and layered surfaces in painting. Each carries memory, process, and meaning.
Together, the works reveal creativity as fluid and interconnected. Like the winds of Ururangi that signal change and the Māori New Year, each piece connects artist, environment, and community.
