Artefacts of remembering, comprising identity. Take a recollected real event, existing now only as prejudiced ephemera in the mind of the individual, make it real and tangible once again. Use colour and idiosyncratic form, gesture and line to present a recollection as a vista, a ‘scape’. Existence located now in a scape of present and recollected land, that deeply mediated perception of place, of origin - a contiguous past.&nbsp; ‘Home’ is the rightness of underlying forms in these scapes that survive the surface changes, a scape that is populated by instantly recognizable artefacts, fragments perhaps of buildings, land patterns, a roll of the hills, a twist in the street, a deep lush smell of vegetation in the rain, or the dry, that could only exist in this place. Now encompassingThen. The ‘hooks’ on which viewers might be caught and reached became not just colour, line and composition but also the fuzziness of representation that, like recollection, tug at the corners of the mind to evoke and solidify a viewer’s own experiences and rememberings. A concurrent thread in the project is the memories that one misses out on due to circumstances of cultural filtering. It was only through this project that I discovered my first school was a stone’s throw from a local marae. A marae where once an early missionary and a paramount chief collaborated to avoid a northern Maōri attack on colonial Auckland – for instance. A contemporary Maōri art historian’s[1]&nbsp;proposition that an understanding of Maōri ‘recollections’ of land use, events and place could be understood by applying the ancient notion of ‘palimpsest’, reading layers of concurrent overlapping remembrances each valid from different viewpoints, became important. Both as a way of reading ‘history’ and of building the material object, the painting. The recurring and layered motifs of river, a horseshoe bend on the Northern Wairoa (yellow, brown, muddy and full of eels), manuka scrub, rolling hills, waka (canoe) on the water, fires in the land – all these and more bridge the personal history of a small Pākehā child of the fifties, of the land, with the broader ancient and contemporary history of tangata whenua, the people of the land. &nbsp; The&nbsp; Kirikōpuni series captures recollections of 1950s &amp; 60s childhood, on a bend of the Northern Wairoa river at Kirikōpuni. Hay was still being made with standing balers and pitchforks to thatch the top of the stack. Such recollections persisting through the years underpin present identity.

At first we cut scrub to lay in the bottom to keep them open, with the spoil shovelled back in on top. They only stayed open a few years.&nbsp; With more grass we could buy tiles. Terracotta tubes dad placed end to end with a hunk of teatree trunk on the end of a long stick to hook them and ease them together. A super long hockey stick. He dug and tiled for days. Paddock after paddock. Rugged stuff.&nbsp; They came on a wagon on the rails to the train station, then trucked to the farm.

Haymaking then was late December into January and even February some years. We still built stacks in the paddock with small bales, the stack thatched on top with loose hay pitched up with long handled, long-tine forks. One time a storm came, hay and heat blew everywhere. Dust and hayseed runnels, shower driven, filming the windscreen of the Ford Prefect bringing afternoon tea. The rain was brief and fresh, whipped away with the wind, but I could smell it. Smell the heat and the rain. I thought the stack would blow away - it was huge, big as a house really. I chased after armloads of loose hay scurrying ahead of me on the hillside. Dad and the men were putting a tarp with ropes over the stack to keep the thatch on. It flapped and cracked in the wind. It was a big storm. Seeds and dust and rain caught in my throat. It was fun. I pressed my nose against the bedroom window that night wondering if the stack had blown away yet. I was a hero at morning talk. https://hodgsonart.co.nz/2016 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 05:19:09 +0000 John R P Hodgson, Artist https://hodgsonart.co.nz/2016 John R. P.
