Audrey Goggin is a London-born Tāmaki-based artist whose primarily oil painting practice uses primary source research as an anchor for her exploration of identity and belonging in relation to her mixed heritage and immigrant background. 

Her current exhibition at Window Gallery, 馬上封侯, presents a beautiful large painting piece by Goggin on unstretched canvas. Using a photograph of her great aunt as a young child sitting on her family’s white horse as a starting point, the work sees the artist approaching the year of the horse through an exploration of her mixed Chinese-Pākehā heritage through the Chinese zodiac and its significance in Chinese culture.

With her great aunt being born in a Horse year, and herself a monkey year, the artist was reminded of the Chinese idiom, 馬上封侯, which literally translates to monkey sitting upon a horse, but can also take the inferred meaning of a quick advancement or rise in status. Connecting herself to the original image through this idiom, Goggin’s younger self takes the place of her great aunt’s position, now a monkey sitting upon a horse – in hopes of a prosperous year ahead of passion, ambition, and rapid change with her whakapapa supporting her as she seeks to better understand her equivocal identity.
