John Daly-Peoples (writer and art consultant) says of Shanes work "The head of the family,
the senior male takes on the role of a God of the heavens or navigation as well as director
of this staged vignette. It’s a clever mix of the thoughtful and the comic, the ordinary and
the allegorical"
o Jordan Davey-Emms - Open Set / Sponge Mass, 2017 - mixed media.
Glaister Ennor Award.
"Open Set / Sponge Mass invites us to look carefully at surfaces and edges. The various
components function as their own network as we attempt to connect the surface of
one component with the material character of another. In making connections between
fragments, Davey-Emms creates the conditions for prolonged looking, a sustained
examination of not only the singular but how it might connect to other parts within
the greater network." Ioana Gordon-Smith (Curator Te Uru)
