In our second episode in partnership with North Lands Creative featuring artists participating in this year's #Collect2022 International Art Fair for Modern Craft and Design. I sat down with artist Te Rongo Kirkwood who is based in Auckland New Zealand. Her work fuses glass, textiles and other media creating sculptural artworks and personal adornment that are a contemporary expression of Maori identity and culture.

It was great to have the opportunity to discuss with Te Rongo what motivates and drives her practice and the different topics that inspires her work as an artist. I want to thank Te Rongo for coming on the podcast and sharing her story with us. You can find out more about Te Rongo and her work on the links below. And a huge thanks to our episode sponsors North Lands Creative, Creative Scotland and Creative Europe.
