Jade Townsend disentangles weaves of beach mats which she then paints, using them to create colourful veils. They've usually been displayed on the walls of galleries, but now she's made a large, free-standing veil sculpture that she's inviting people to walk through. The installation - "Neke Neke, You are free" - explores the relationship between power and religion. It's part of a group show at the Gus Fisher Gallery in Auckland called Turning a page, starting a chapter. And behind it, Jade's collaborated with musician Riki Gooch to create a soundscape they call "Ship's Bell". Jade Townsend is also co-owner of a new gallery in downtown Tamaki Makaurau - Season Gallery. It opened just as this year's lockdown ended, which shows a bold leap of faith in the market! Lynn Freeman talks to Jade about "Neke neke" - particularly her launch into sound with Riki: Turning a page, starting a chapter opens on the 30th of April at Gus Fisher Gallery in Tamaki Makaurau/Auckland.
