Join artist Megan Hansen-Knarhoi and hear about her practice and the meanings behind her work Jesus Spells in Knitted & Knotted.
"Megan Hansen-Knarhoi is a distinctive figure in contemporary New Zealand art. Since graduating with a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Elam School of Fine Arts at Auckland University in 2006, she has established a body of work that examines the legacy of Christian belief in art and modern society. This includes a series of wall installations featuring the image of Jesus, typically sourced from the internet and constructed from French knitted wool. In the case of Jesus Spells, the figure is ‘speaking in tongues’ as represented by a speech bubble of three dimensional soft sculpted crosses." — Anna-Marie White, The Suter Curator
