5000 Year Old Whisper
Voices from the past seep through our consciousness: culture, language and our ancestor's stories shape our present and define who we are.
5000 Year Old Whisper
Voices from the past seep through our consciousness: culture, language and our ancestor's stories shape our present and define who we are.
This new body of sculpture by leading Pacific artist John Ioane presents us with forms and objects from an indefinable place and time, but with the quiet suggestion of our shared histories as urban Pacific people here in Aotearoa.
John Ioane graduated with a BFA from Elam School of Fine Art at Auckland University, he has work in the permanent collections of Te Papa Tongarewa and the Auckland Art Gallery. In 2005 he was awarded the Creative New Zealand Pacific Art Award for innovation and excellence- in 2004 he exhibited and performed in Paradise Now at the Asia Society in New York.
