Exhibition

Simon Lardelli - He Pou Manawa

Simon Lardelli - He Pou Manawa 7 June - 6 July 2014 in the Toi Gallery

Simon Lardelli's latest works explore ancestors and their presence as they leap from the traditional to the modern. The ancestors are represented in the negative and positive spaces in the found objects (mainly pallets) he carves and sculpts.

A multi-disciplinary artist, Lardelli (Ngati Konohi, Rongowhakaata Taranaki) practices traditional and contemporary carving, sculpture and painting. He is also involved with iwi projects such as Marae restoration and a mentoring programme with troubled youth.
