Hina. 2022
8mm LED neon, acrylic, aluminium and mixed media
140 x 100 x 2 cm
Kahurangiariki Smith’s art addresses the history of colonisation, the reclamation of Indigenous knowledge and the present-day, lived consequences of historical events in New Zealand. Hina (2022) is a neon pink LED depiction of a Māori female spiritual deity known variously as Hina, Ina, Sina and Hine, and often associated with the phases of the moon. A ripply body of water in front reflects the sculpture, reminiscent of a bright moon shining above the ever-moving sea.
