Art Fair Priscilla Rose Howe 02 March 2021 -- 06 March 2021

Priscilla Rose Howe is an artist, writer and designer currently residing in Otautahi, Aotearoa. Her drawing practice places queer bodies within surreal and phenomenological realms that exist outside the current climate. Inspired by the fluidity of film as a way to open up or create supernatural worlds, Howe’s artworks often depict reimagined spaces and otherworldly scenes. Rendered in pencil and coloured pencil, her artworks have a childlike, imaginative quality that is at once uncanny and magical.

Looping refers to journeys through unknown waters, the threads that we use to haul ourselves forward. Celebrating tactility and the connections generated through engagement, the exhibition includes woven sculptures, hair pins, drawings and a plushie. Looping is a verb that knots, tangles and binds.
