Sculpture on the Gulf Hinaki Virginia King
Virginia King Born Kawakawa Northland. Lives and works in Auckland and on Waiheke Island. Over the past three decades I have created a diverse range of site-specific sculpture, commissioned for public locations and private collectors. Major commissions include Willinga Plume, Canberra Airport and Reed Vessel, Melbourne Docklands. Public footbridges include Rewarewa Creek and Aramarama Millennium in Auckland. My Vessel forms have become symbols of exploration and migration, of nurturing and protection, symbols of life and survival. The objective of these works is to bring to the attention of the viewer the fragility of our environment and the global need for stewardship and conservation. To be invited by the European Cultural Centre to exhibit during the Venice Biennale, 2019 is a powerful affirmation of the direction my work has taken. King has been awarded People’s Choice at SOTG Waiheke Island with Phantom Fleet 2017, Radiolaria 2013, Nautilus Whispers 2007 and Matiatia Frond 2003.
