Shelters - Ana Iti (2022)

The sculptural work, Shelters, was Commissioned for the city Gallery in Wellington as a part of the exhibition 'I must shroud myself in a stinging nettle'.

The exhibition presents two major works by Ana Iti, Shelters and Roharoha, tying together her artistic explorations of moving image, large-scale sculpture, and text. Together, these works consider the notion of shelter in relation to the kahukura, a butterfly species endemic to Aotearoa.
