Lissy and Rudi Robinson-Cole presented by Te Manawa

Lissy & Rudi Robinson-Cole are partners in art-making and in life. Their artworks explore mātauranga Māori and the importance of ancestral knowledge through crocheted woollen sculpture. To date the artists’ largest and most ambitious project has been Wharenui Harikoa (House of Joy), a full-size crocheted meeting house created in collaboration with whanau, community and international textile artists. Predominantly self-taught artists, together their unique crocheted sculptural creations make a unique and vibrant contribution to the conversations about the boundaries between craft, object art and conventional fine arts at present. Come hear the conversation as they talk with Nigel Borell about their art practice and future ambitions.
