“Have A Little Faith” is the title of Niki Hastings-McFall’s latest exhibition which is showing in Dunedin. Niki’s art practice is informed by her own heritage, beliefs and by her experience in cultural diversity. In this exhibition Niki delves into the fleeting nature of life and the inevitability of death. The exhibition runs from 19 September to 14 October 2009 at the Milford Galleries in Dunedin. Niki first met with her father’s Samoan family in 1992 and since that point her work has explored her personal heritage. Her work is represented in New Zealand (including the Dowse Art Museum, Auckland Museum and Te Papa), and in Australian and American art collections. She graduated in 2000 with a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts (BVA) from Auckland University at Manukau School of Visual Arts and earlier graduated with a Certificate in Contemporary Jewellery, from the Manukau Institute of Technology (1994).
