Description
Shane Cotton
Wind and Bones
etching, 2015 (edition of 20)
H. 500mm x W. 350mm
Shane Cotton (Ngā Puhi, Ngāti Rangi, Ngāti Hine, Te Uri Taniwha) has exhibited extensively in Aotearoa and overseas. He has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Canterbury and a Graduate Diploma in Teaching. Alongside his painting career, he has taught at Massey University’s Toioho ki Āpiti Bachelor of Māori Visual Arts programme. In 2008, Cotton received a Laureate Award from the New Zealand Arts Foundation and, in 2012, was made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to the visual arts. Cotton’s painting practice is underpinned by a recurrent questioning of his own bicultural identity and our collective cultural identity.
These two limited-edition prints explore the plight of indigenous birds in Aotearoa, suggesting that time has run out. A call to action at the very last minute in evolutionary terms, could not be more apt when considering our kākāpō among so many other endangered species.
