Teresa Peters is an artist and filmmaker based in Tamaki Makaurau, currently working
in clay and ceramics, photography and moving image. She is interested in bodies, earth bodies, forming
and transforming. Chemical compounds and molten entities, in intimate
combustion. ‘Excavating’ primordial totems’, as we move on into the
sixth mass extinction. Ceramics is alchemy. Earth, water, air… fire...

Uku Moemoeā | Clay Dreams is a group exhibition of contemporary
ceramicists working in many different styles. It includes a mix of
established artists rubbing shoulders with emerging artists,
professional potters and hobbyists. Uku Moemoeā includes works that are
not only vessels and domestic ware, but which have sculptural elements
too. Renown local collective Manurewa Potters has been onsite at Nathan
Homestead Pukepuke for many years, and they are joined in this
exhibition by a suite of earth-conscious makers who use materials of the
earth as a source of inspiration.
