New works by Aotea (Great Barrier Island, New Zealand) artists, Elise Bishop and Manuka Davenport, are a combination of fired raw clay and waxed metal. The process that goes into making these pieces is inextricably linked to the wild natural environment in which they live. Elise has been drawn to the clay in a roadside cutting on Te Ahumata, the maunga (mountain) behind her home & studio. She chooses pieces that fall to the road, and dries them slowly before firing them to stoneware temperatures (1240-1300C). The pieces emerging from the kiln show traces of the mineral make-up of the earth; rich colours over a bright chalky white. Manuka collects kanuka and manuka timber from the surrounding bush and bakes it at extreme heat to make charcoal. Using traditional blacksmith techniques, he forges sinewy iron tendrils to follow the shapes and crevasses of the fired rock. They cling to the pieces and hold them in suspense. The artists have the blessing of the local Iwi Kaumatua (tribal elders) in making and distributing this work.
