Matthew McIntyre – Wilson, Matariki Artist in Residence at Oxford Gallery

Matthew McIntyre-Wilson (Taranaki, Nga Mahanga and Titahi) will turn the gallery into an active studio and be working on site.

Working across the disciplines of jewellery, craft, and object-making, Matthew re-articulates the forms, patterns and practice of raranga whakairo (plaiting) with precious metals. Matariki is a time to learn mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge) such as new skills and material preparations.

Mathew will facilitate two workshops; netmaking using harakeke for learners, and bird skinning for specialists.

This exhibition is supported be Te Puni Kōkiri.
