Ceramic art by Yueh Luo, photography by Angie Way, curated by Mark Kaneko

An exhibition of ceramic art by Yueh Luo and photography by Angie Way, curated by Mark Kaneko. Mark introduced the artists and their works and shared insights from his work as a curator and the establishment of a gallery space in his own home in Onekiritea – Hobsonville Point.

About Angie Way

Angie Way is a fashion and commercial photographer who recently relocated to Tāmaki Makaurau from Sydney Australia. She has always been inspired by people. This does not mean that people are the focus of her attention. Rather her compositions locate humanity in the lines and shapes of the world around her. When discussing the world captured in her photographs she says “we are not front and centre – we simply add to its beauty.”

About Yueh Luo

Yueh Luo is an award winning ceramicist whose work explores the complexity of ceramic objects – the relationship between the form and the space it contains. Influenced by Eastern traditions as a child, and drawn to Modernist aesthetics while growing up, she likes to challenge traditional ceramic forms, using lines, curves and negative space to construct a visual dialogue. Surface quality is a crucial feature in her work and she researches extensively to find appropriate glazes to suit the form.

About Mark Kaneko

Mark Kaneko is curator of the Massey University art collection, and a serial creative, entrepreneur and active member of the Onekiritea – Hobsonville Point community. As an artist Mark has shown work in solo exhibitions in UK, Japan, and New Zealand and has work featured in major NZ collections. In addition to his work at Te Kunenga Ki Purehuroa – Massey University, Mark has curated many smaller exhibitions, including at his Hobsonville home gallery.

Living in the area since early 2019, Mark has served as chairperson of the Hobsonville Point Residents Society, had people visit his Japanese inspired garden in the Hobsonville Point Garden Ramble, created and managed the Hobby Pride project, and is currently an admin of Hobsonville Cat Society Facebook group.
