Once Were Gardeners is an exhibition by artist and carver Ngaroma Riley, currently showing at Season Gallery. It comprises a group of painted carvings that draw inspiration from a lecture of the same name by the late Moana Jackson.

The carvings reflect on and celebrate precolonial Māori life, and emphasise the fact that a core meaning of the term Māori is ‘natural’.

Beth had a kōrero with Ngaroma about Once Were Gardeners and the carving process.

Rider Instinct is an exhibition by Séraphine Pick currently on at Te Uru Gallery. 

Over the course of her 30-year career, artist Séraphine Pick has become one of the most celebrated painters in Aotearoa. 

With several of the works exhibited with ceramic components and found objects, Rider Instinct brings together selected works from Pick’s practice: works on paper and her ‘combined paintings’. 

Sofia spoke to Séraphine about the exhibition and her practice.
