THREE YEAR’S IN THE MAKING

Renowned Taranaki artist’s Oakura Beach screen-print

With three years in the making, KINA is excited to exhibit Marianne Muggeridge’s Oakura Beach screen print.

One of the few New Zealand artists to still use traditional screen-printing methods, Marianne’s work embodies a richness and energy that is only achievable through this labour-intensive process. Painting directly onto the screen with hot-dripping this process produces a soft, painterly edge.

Each print is produced through an entirely handmade process, with small adjustments made all along the way. For this reason each print carries its own unique qualities, vibrancy and individuality.

Although currently based in Wellington, Marianne is a Taranaki artist and we are pleased to hear that she is planning to move back to the region at the end of this year.
