About exhibition

Created over 6-weeks of trips to the Tāmaki Estuary, Rubes Prattley-Jones and Taarn Scott present salt crusted, a collaborative project drawing on their shared love of collective making and beach fossicking.

Rubes explores their relationship with the Tāmaki Estuary coastline using wild clay sourced on location, capturing the texture of beach and artist. Connecting their queer identity to place, Rubes aligns bodily with the estuarine landscape, fluid and non-binary.

Taarn’s practice draws inspiration from the built environment; shelter and habitat. For salt crusted they’ve mused on sand timers and shacks, lighthouses and postcards and the layered histories of place. Abstracting their textures in metal and cast bronze.
