Notable sculptor Brett Graham has been a prominent figure within the Māori art movement since it’s rise in the early 1990s. He is known for his large-scale sculptures and installation works that explore indigenous histories, politics, and philosophies. Viewing his own Māori whakapapa in relation to indigenous and non-Western identities around the world, he often explores the issues of imperialism in his creations. Working with a broad range of materiality and form, his practice blends traditional craft with contemporary themes.
