PORTFOLIO

An artist who has exhibited internationally, Claudia presents a select portfolio of key works for you to view.

“While the obvious aesthetic of this series is contemporary and abstract, these works also reflect ideas and experiences of a Pacific Nation. The composition and use of repeating graphic motifs the Waitakare Moon series reflects elements of both Maori and Polynesian decorative and narrative traditions. And in subject they evoke age old traditions of seafarer’s lunar navigation, travel, and the passage of time-bringing Borella’s experience of New Zealand into the wider considerations of her practice as an international artist.”
