Subversion through recolonizing
Notes on video;
Unity in diversity shines throughout Sofia's work, myths legends, etc she gets from her Maori culture and links them to other cultures, and combines them together in her pieces. Some of her works are named after Maori goddesses. She wants them to be seen as more of their ancestors.
Piece of her work: Twelve Heavens
Brief description: This painting used the effect of replicating the same image around in
a circle, it really gives a slight feel of the gate that isn't human but a
reflection of time going by. The white complements the black greatly and in the pattern, it kind of gives the feel of it warping out of the white canvas. It also gives the feel of a clock or an animation reel.
Does it show Subversion and so
Subversion is shown in the many repetitions of the same person in the circle making it stand out and out of the ordinary. as it put standing out of the page in the ring. as it gives the feel of it being a focal point opening up.
