What else would you call it is Poached Galleries' new group exhibition that spans various mediums from painting, sculpture, installation, photography, and more. The show circulates around these ideas of intimacy, delving into its complex nature. Unfolding the beauty that intimacy itself holds, but also exploring its more uncomfortable underbelly - an intimacy that can at times hold this visceral and erosive nature. 

Maya caught up with two artists from the show, Sinag Fernandez and Anna Neumann. 

Sinag is a Tāmaki-based artist and artsworker from the Philippines. Her painting practice delves into the exploration of the body, in particular, an investigation into the haptic as an essential mechanism for divine belief.

Anna Neumann is a Tāmaki-based painter and textile artist. Her work explores the body through this inward lens. Treating her paintings as flesh itself, allowing the materiality of the substrate to record the very movements of the pigment across its crumpled and creased surface. Resulting in a body of work that holds its histories at its forefront.

Georgie Hill is a Tāmaki-based painter whose materially led practice explores the dynamic collision of visual systems, creating a rich dialogue between process and form, literary texts and paint. A kind of mark making that takes on this almost electric, explosive, or rhythmic sensibility – a creative disorder, collaged and layered as these beautiful bursts of colour.

In Melter of Limbs at Te Wai Ngutu Kākā Gallery, curated by Nina Dyer, Hill’s work is placed in conversation with that of New York-based New Zealand artist Emerita Baik, whose practice spans sculpture, printmaking, and installation. Paired together, the gallery space becomes this site of exploration of these curious convergences between Hill and Baik’s practices as guided by these mythical references: Hans Christian Andersen’s Little Mermaid for Baik, and an interweaving of Eros, the Greek god of love - the ‘melter of limbs’, as per Sappho’s characterisation - for Hill.
