Connecting to our landscapes through artist Marilynn Webb

When we talk about the pioneering generation of modern Māori artists, the names most typically heard are men: Ralph Hotere, Sandy Adsett, Selwyn Wilson, Muru Walters or Para Matchitt. 
Deserving more recognition is Marilynn Webb. Of Ngāpuhi, Te Roroa and Ngāti Kahu descent, Webb passed away in 2021. She is best known for prints that connect us to the landscape, considering the effects of environmental and human history.

New Arts Laureate, weaver and artist Dr Maureen Lander

Maori visual artist Dr Maureen Lander is a visionary, a leading exponent of weaving, both customary and experimental, an installation artist and a mentor to many. Added to her extensive list of achievements is now being named as one of our latest Arts Foundation Laureates. Back in 1984 Maureen learnt flax harvesting, processing and weaving techniques from the hugely respected weaver and artist, Diggeress Te Kanawa. While honouring these traditional techniques, the Elam Art School graduate also integrates them with Western art materials like nylon fishing line and mesh. In 2020 Dr Maureen Lander became a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to Maori art. She talks with Lynn Freeman about her life, her work and her recent collaborations with the wahine Maori Mata Aho Collective, also named as one of this year's Arts Laureates.
