Little Landmarks

For her debut exhibition Little Landmarks, Katie Hallam acts as a reporter from the edges of Waimakariri waterways and presents works that simultaneously reveal and obscure her observations.

Blending drawing, painting and printmaking, Hallam contemplates the way land and objects on it are shaped over time, and the marks that are left behind as a result. As physical layers intersect and conceal the subject, they refer to the constant stream of messages we receive and navigate, and the layered nature of our shared experience of the world.

About Katie Hallam

She/her | Tangata Tiriti

I work playfully with a range of media to explore themes of loss, connection, myth and the relationship between the natural world and human intervention.

I was born in the East Midlands of England, and have lived in Aotearoa for nine years. I am growing roots in the Tawera - Oxford area of North Canterbury, with my whānau and some plants and animals.
