Kei te Haere Ahau - 'I am going' - like my awa, flowing with the balance of mauri. Strength is drawn from whenua. The force of whakapapa tempers the overwhelming tide of living. Washing and motherhood embody the power and presence of my tīpuna. 

Kei te Haere Ahau is a solo exhibition by contemporary Kāi Tahu, Kāti Mamoe, Pākēhā ringatoi Caitlin Rose Donnelly.
