Day 21 ~ Hikoi

With the mega strike on Thursday it felt appropriate. Especially with all the government seems to be doing to minimize and demonize unions.

We stand with you - nurses, doctors, dentists, social workers, teachers, acc workers, healthcare workers, education workers, and public servants.

Made this one before I got a proper photo editor, so I'm still quite impressed at how good the "SHAZAM!" panel looks.

Also, his name is Captain Marvel. Being a fan comic, I don't have to care about the rights issues that have him going around being unable to say his own name.

The Garden | LEBEN YOUNG

Sourced from beaches and rivers across New Zealand, layers of sand, coal, stone and paint are built up into surfaces that cover and contour various forms and objects, evoking geological time and processes. Small, individual objects are combined to produce larger components that oscillate between object and topographical representation. A free and playful approach to the assembly of the work allows for loose threads of narrative to escape and weave throughout the installation.

'She'll be right''.

S. Grainger-James. 2024.

Rusted Scrap on canvas.

In Aotearoa (New Zealand) there's an old turn of phrase to dismiss worry and not to overthink things: "She'll be right". This phrase has done a lot of damage to emotional and psychological stresses throughout generations.

This piece is about inheriting busted-ass tools and intergenerational trauma, expecting to make do and not worry.
