Aroha Te Rangi
Wellington, New Zealand
“Pressure turns a drawing into an event.”
Biography
Aroha Te Rangi creates layered monotypes shaped by wind, coastal plants, and the physical pressure of the printing process. Her imagery stays abstract and grounded in close observation.
Artist statement
I think of the press as weather. It transfers, compresses, blurs, and leaves some things untouched.
In the studio
Te Rangi inks plant fibers, cut stencils, and textured plates, then combines several impressions on one sheet. No two prints share the same registration. Dichroic glass and light panels give her pressure-based compositions a spatial, changing register.
