About the artist:
Ani O’Neill is an artist of Cook Island Maori (Ngati Makea, Ngati Te Tika) and Irish descent. Her art practice is rooted in techniques and perspectives from both her traditional homeland of Rarotonga and her birthplace within the Pacific Diaspora of Auckland, New Zealand. The techniques that form the foundations of O’Neill’s practice are inspired by her grandmother’s traditions based on Cook Islands material and ceremonial culture and span the use of craft, installation, object making, and performance. An ongoing thread throughout O’Neill’s career is to honour collaboration as a core part of Pacific Island philosophy and survival. This is evident in her practice through her many collaborations with artists in festival performances, presentations, interactive exhibition installations, and workshops. She has participated in numerous exhibitions and residencies throughout New Zealand, the Pacific, Australia, Europe, and the United States as a solo artist and as a member of Pacific Sisters.
