Inspired by Maori whakairo, Fijian masi cloth and Samoan tapa, Kirsty's landscapes are merged with patterning to reflect the history of a site. Mixed with the traditional etching style, she uses for these landscapes, her artwork often sparks a nostalgic reaction to a favourate view. Kirsty artfully weaves Aotearoa's historic narrative within a modern artwork and this original take on our beloved landscape gives us more than hills and water. It's also a chance for me Kirsty to portray New Zealand's rich cultural mix, our history and our passion for our land.
