TERESA HR LANE
ARTIST
Motivated by a collective illusion of paradise, its past and our present, Teresa HR Lane delves deep into vast collections of current and archival images from across Aotearoa. Inspired by this abundance of visual information, Lane reuse’s and repurposes printed matter, books & magazines to tell stories. Disseminating and reassembling these treasures is part of an intricate mixed media collage practice, described as ‘painting with paper, drawing with scissor’s’. The results of splicing human into both place and being, offers the viewer an alternative vision from a surrealist vantage point, interwoven to an ethereal place, imagined but firmly entrenched in reality.
Teresa HR Lane received an MFA from Elam School of Fine Arts, University of Auckland in 2017. She was the recipient of Akel Schulte Runner-up Award, Molly Morpeth Canaday Painting and Drawing Award 2019 and a finalist in National Contemporary Art Award 2019 and Wallace Awards 2017. Her works are included in public and private collections both throughout Aotearoa and internationally. Lane is represented by MD Gallery, Whangarei. Lane resides in rural Te Tai Tokerau with her family.
