Jhana Millers Gallery is pleased to present Made, featuring mahi by Stevei Houkāmau, Sam Kelly, Kelly McDonald, Neke Moa, Joe Sheehan, and Matthew McIntyre Wilson.

Opening 5pm, Thursday 21 May 2026.

Made brings together six artists working across adornment, sculpture, and installation, reflecting the expanded field of contemporary jewellery practice in Aotearoa.

Bone, stone, metal, uku, fibre, and found materials are transformed through processes grounded in memory, whakapapa, utility, and care. Together, these artists consider how objects carry identity, cultural continuity, and relationships to place.

A text by Zoe Black accompanies the exhibition.

In this episode, I visit @nekemoa at her home and studio in Ōtaki on the Kāpiti Coast.

This episode is part of the McCahon House Parehuia Residency 20th Anniversary series, where I’m volunteering the services of The Good Oil to highlight the wonderful and important work they do, and some of their very impressive alumni, which includes Neke Moa.

You’ll hear Neke explain that her practice is always a collaborative one, even when she is in the studio by herself, how and why her work is sometimes respected more overseas than it is in Aotearoa, the role of activism in the practice and works, how the historical pakeha definition of art and value systems devalued Māori practices and therefore excluded the preservation of some taonga, and how toi Māori is in a new evolutionary phase.
