The One Talent

'The One Talent' is a solo presentation of photographs by Tikorangi-based artist Fiona Clark. Unflinching and compelling, this series of images explores various approaches to self-portraiture. A range of photographic techniques, media and supports are used to capture the artists’ likeness as it changes over time, from her early days as a student at the Elam School of Fine Arts (including a performance at Karangahape Road’s Pink Pussycat Club); through to images of surgical recovery at Middlemore Hospital in the 1970s and its extended aftermath.
