Shane Cotton is renowned for his painted explorations of Aotearoa New Zealand culture and identity. This practice of painterly and cultural exploration enters the virtual space with Emergence (No Ordinary Bird), a new moving image artwork investigating alternate realms and media. Here the entities that inhabit Cotton’s paintings are encountered on an alternate plane of experience, evoking an animated sense of the metaphysical manifestations that emerge from the histories and narratives explored in his work.
