IA: Te Ia o Te Awa features new work by Zena Elliott, a Kirikiriroa-based artist who hails from Te Teko. Zena's mahi combines past, present, and future through materials, methods, and aesthetics. IA is part of a larger body of work by the artist that links the fluidity of rivers with gender and cultural identity. Head over to www.wormhole-edk.com to read Zena's artist statement.

Zena is making a mural to accompany IA at Riverslea Mall while the exhibition is on. Please see our other listings (or the Wormhole website) for further information. We hope you can come along and take part!

Thanks to Whakatāne District's Creative Communities Scheme for supporting the exhibition, and to Peppers Building Supplies, Cusack Partners, and Zena Elliott for making the mural project possible.
