Nick Barry is a lifelong jotter of ideas, scribbler of jokes and sketcher of Dawgs. Nick’s art-form lives in a colourful, hand-drawn world where reside the iconic ‘Dragon-Dawgs’.
Write just one word. Then another. Write another. Draw that line. Mark that page. Make a dot, a squiggle, an imperfect circle. So what if it’s wonky? So what if it looks more like a weird elephant’s ear? Play that chord. Sing that note. Sing another. Sing three in a row. Start something. Do it. In the words of avant-garde composer John Cage: ‘Begin anywhere.’
How are you with time?
Different people perceive time differently. To some of us time is a finite, measurable,
tangible commodity. Like a loaf of sliced bread, it can be shared around very simply and
specifically. To others of us time is a much less tangible item. In fact, it is more like a large
bowl of soup, difficult to divide according to any set of rules and difficult to distribute evenly.
Aotearoa is a Pacific Island nation coming to terms with its whakapapa. Our whakapapa includes pre-Treaty strands originating in Te Moana Nui a Kiwa² and post-Treaty strands from Europe and the rest of the globe. In 2019, Tuia 250 – Te Pōwhiri ki Wharekaho, was a singularly impactful event for bringing these strands together in celebration of our national and local identities in Pare Hauraki³.
