B.224 Bulletin Winter 2026

In this issue of Bulletin we are delighted to have an article by archaeologist and cultural heritage specialist Gerard O’Regan (Kāi Tahu), who focuses on the images in Mark Adams’s Land of Memories series. Curator Jennifer Taylor from Te Whare o Rehua Sarjeant Gallery provides an introduction to one of the earliest pioneers of modernism in Aotearoa New Zealand, Whanganui born artist Edith Collier. As our collection exhibition He Kapuka Oneone – A Handful of Soil continues to evolve, we’re taking time to explore some of the artists and works it features in more detail. Grant Banbury examines Ōtautahi Christchurch artist Doris Lusk’s relationship with the Banks Peninsula, and lead curator Felicity Milburn talks with printmaker Denise Copland, digging into her ongoing fascination with kahere. Staying with forestry and our extractive relationship with trees, curator Melanie Oliver talks to Ana Iti (Te Rarawa, Ngāi Tūpoto, Ngāti Here, Pākehā) about her recent project Ngahere Behind a Pile of Metal. My Favourite is supplied by Kaye Woodward of the Bats, who selects a dynamic piece of modernist printmaking. And Pagework is by Ōtepoti Dunedin-based artist Georgina May Young.
