Titled simply ‘The Table’, the public was invited to pull up a chair and take in the works as you would at a friend’s dining room table. In keeping with mothermother collective's ethos of manaakitanga (caretaking), The Table conjured a sense of community, home, sharing of kai (food), connection, ritual, and belonging – a thread that runs through the exhibited works: remnants of a hug in bronze, paintings inspired by daily walks and elemental kitchen ingredients, melted and repurposed pewter tea sets, film stills of an other-worldly home-bound odyssey, and woven things undone, to name a few.
