About the Work
“I
chose
this
work
because
I
love
Kumeroa’s
animated
works.
Although
the
medium
is
different,
for
me,
the
connection
between
this
earlier
work
and
the
artist’s
current
work
is
the
layered
quality
of
the
image
in
a
metaphorical
and
literal
sense.
The
strength
and
conviction
of
an
indigenous
perspective
is
apparent
in
both
the
earlier
and
current
animated
works
(sometimes
in
collaboration
with
Dr.
Billy
van
Uitregt)
and
both
draw
the
viewer
in
for
closer
observation.”
