I paint because it brings me happiness, fulfilment and allows me to share the messages I have for the world in the most authentic way possible. Also, because I don’t know how not to. When I haven’t painted for a while I feel like there’s a big storm cloud brewing behind me full of ideas, adding up and threatening to push me over.
Jocelyn Pratt’s passion lies in sculpting hardstone, where she explores and enhances the natural qualities of stone through form, polish, texture, light and shadow. Her creations celebrate the natural solidity and strength of stone, aiming to evoke a sense of tactile repose and optimism for societal change.
Meet King Fish, the killer three-piece band with Jacob on drums, Heinzy on bass, and Jay rocking guitar and vocals. They’re all about heavy riffs but with a cool twist: each instrument gets its own space to breathe, avoiding that full-throttle, non-stop noise. Their sound hits hard but stays clear and balanced, giving them a unique edge in the scene.
Occasionally, we all feel unwell. Periodically, we might have a headache, catch a cold, or burn a fever. Sometimes, we break some bones, suffer more severe internal issues or are diagnosed with some devastating illness. When this happens, most of us will seek out a general practitioner, a specialist or a surgeon and, subsequently, receive some medication to help us recover.
Tawa Rikihana, also known as Derrick ‘Rick’ Rikihana, is a Māori artist from the Te Arawa iwi and the Tuhourangi-Tarawhai hapū. His Awa (ancestral river) is Te Wairoa, and his Maunga (mountain) is Tarawera. Rick’s wharenui, Hinemihi o Tarawhai, holds significant cultural importance to him and his whānau.
