About the artist:
Teresa HR Lane
Motivated by a collective illusion of paradise, its past and our present, Teresa HR Lane delves deep into an abundant collection of current and archival images from across Aotearoa. Her works are a visual response to the ongoing physical degradation from the capitalist and colonial impact on this land.
Lane’s works are made from new and recycled material, printed matter, books and magazines. She acknowledges the photographers and artists who supply Alexander Turnbull Library, The Northwood Collection, NZ Geographic, Forest & Bird, Art & Object, IAC, Webbs, Art New Zealand, and the many exquisite books illustrating Aotearoa, which have been diced, spliced and reassembled to make these the works.
Lane received both BFA (2012) and MFA (2017) from Elam School of Fine Arts, University of Auckland. She was recipient of the Akel Schulte Runner-up Award 2019, Molly Morpeth Canaday Painting and Drawing Award, finalist 2019 National Contemporary Art Award, Wallace Art Awards in 2017. Lane’s works are included in both public and private collections.
