You’ll hear Darryn speak about reconnecting with Māoridom and marae, developing his language through a combination of American minimalist abstract painters, kowhaiwhai patterns in wharenui and Māori carvers, his willingness to work collaboratively across industries to achieve the best outcome in large scale paintings, how his practice is influenced by and explores the intersection of oral and written history between Māori and European structures and some advice from his gallerist Peter McLeavey that he’s never forgotten and still applies.
