Jenufa Waiti
Jenufa is a Dunedin-based arts practitioner with a career spanning over twenty years. She is known for her eclectic practice, which includes sculpture, painting, and model making, which has been exhibited widely.
Jenufa's work focuses on exploring and reinterpreting the ordinary, using simple elements to challenge preconceived notions and assumptions. Her practice appears to revolve around recurring themes or questions, each time approached from a different angle, highlighting the complexity and depth found in the seemingly banal. This ongoing inquiry suggests a deep engagement with the every day, using it as a lens to question and explore broader ideas or concepts.
In her current series, she focuses on colour and the careful, methodical process of layering. By using simple linear and geometric forms, she explores how colour intensity develops, creating depth and complexity within a two-dimensional space.
