Abstract (en)

Discusses the exhibition VAhine (Auckland, Lane Gallery, 2002) presenting the work of three contemporary female New Zealand artists of Samoan descent: Niki Hastings-McFall, Lonnie Hutchinson, and Lily Laita. Comments on the ancient, man-made rock formations or pigeon snaring mounds which inspired their paintings, drawings, cutouts, and installations. Emphasizes the concept of space (va in Samoan) by means of its capitalization in the exhibition title, its significance for women (hine), and the connection between women and pigeons in Samoan culture.
