3 artists

Jacqueline Fahey.
she is all about the idea of domesticity and suburbs. her work is narrative, theres a story.
The story of women at home. "Big decisions aren't just made when you go off to the office or the boardroom. They are often made in the kitchen". Her painting "at the crossing" is quite different from her domestic life paintings that take place inside the home. instead it is out of the living room and into the street. There is so much gong yet simple to understand.

Emily Kavaka
She became an important Maori artist in the 1980's. She brings together with personal and political ideologies in her work expressive work.  She is a self-taught artist and has work in the collections of New Zealand Te-papa Tongarewa.

Barbara Kruger
An American conceptual artist. She is a photographer using black and white photography and overlays them with captions in white and red. She uses phrases addressing culture, identity, and sexuality. I think these are strong themes and I like the contrast of the colours she works with.
