Lorene Taurerewa’s compositions invite invasion by our own reflections; and in that space, we hear our own thoughts making deals of untruth.

 

The space provides a stage for the tactician of today’s society, of today’s art world: in the face of the realities that confront art and society, saying little; instead focusing its ambition upon some sort of tautology – where double-negatives are cleverly placed to meaninglessly efface each other, amid the plethora of categories that populate the exhibition, discussion, criticism, and institutionalization of art: where Pluralism becomes an oppressive force against the true nature of experimentation and freedom of speech, because conviction for any one truth must bring critique upon others.

 

Through her characters suspended in space as realities in the landscape of the post-modern world, we are journeying on a highway east of Eden, indifferent to the Steinbeckian nature that envelops us. Could it be our destination is just a mirage, conjured by pacifist Utopian will, actually harboring all the evils that Taurerewa would have us challenge?
