Artists
 

Sculptor and jeweller Jason Hall learned his trade as a studio assistant to Warwick Freeman. Since graduating with a Bachelor of Visual Arts from the Manukau Institute of Technology in 1998, he has been exhibiting his work throughout New Zealand.

Hall began exploring the notion of a ‘Pakeha Identity’ in the late 1990s, as a way of identifying the culture into which he was born. Inevitably this journey led to the boundary between being pakeha, and being Maori, which Hall expressed in the work produced for his major recent solo exhibition Ornament for the Pakeha, curated by Damian Skinner.

Jason is represented in New Zealand by Fhe Galleries (Auckland)
