Held by the Land
Joni's works begin with a quiet kind of noticing; a slow and deliberate immersion in the natural world. Here, that gaze is shaped by the beaches and bush of Taranaki, a landscape she returns to time and again, carrying it with her across a lifetime.
textures, colour and movement
"I Want the Viewer to Feel Immersed in the Environment."
"These works are a continuation of exploration and inspiration of wildflowers. Here it is the textures, colours and movement of beach flora which has captivated my imagination. We are so very lucky in Taranaki to have rich coastlines blooming with a multitude of grasses, flowers, flaxes and shrubs, wild and wonderful colours and shapes. Contrasted against dramatic seas and skies, it is a symphony for the eyes".
