    Fiona Clark Michael Lett 312 Karangahape Road Cnr K Rd & East St PO Box 68287 Newton Auckland 1145 New Zealand P+ 64 9 309 7848 [email protected] www.michaellett.com Fiona Clark Born in 1954, Inglewood, Taranaki, New Zealand Lives and works in Tikorangi, Taranaki, New Zealand Fiona Clark was born in Inglewood, Taranaki, in 1959, a rural background which formed the basis for her hands-on approach and direct attitude towards artistic practice, attributes which have aided her in the production of an expansive body of photographic work. While studying at the Elam School of Fine Arts between 1972-5, Clark began to develop a performance-based practice, before moving into photography in her final year. Performativity and the politics of identity would prove to be concepts which informed Clark’s later work, and these interests indirectly led her to document Auckland’s drag and transsexual community. These works provided the methodology for much of Clark’s later practice, especially in their emphasis on a collaborative approach and a sense of responsibility towards the images’ subjects, as seen in the then-controversial Dance Party series, which was subjected to censorship after being included in the Auckland Art Gallery’s 1977 group show The Active Eye. After returning to Taranaki, Clark embarked on a number of artistic projects encompassing a wide variety of subject matter: Maori fishing rights, body building, HIV-Aids and lesbian cultural histories. Recently, the shows Go Girl (2002-6) and For Fantastic Carmen (2016) represent a continuation of the documentary project which began with the Dance Party series, and which now spans four decades.

  • Stabat Mater Dolorosa
    New Zealand Journal of History, 41, 1 (2007) Stabat mater dolorosa DEATH, PHOTOGRAPHY AND COLLECTIVE MOURNING Death loves to be represented . The image can retain some of the obscure, repressed meanings that the written word filters out. Hence its power to move us so deeply. Philippe Ariès1 ON 27 JULY 1916 the Auckland Weekly News had on its cover a photograph captioned ‘The Casualty List’ (Figure One). The caption directed the viewer’s gaze to the image of a solitary woman leaning against the fireplace of an Edwardian parlour. She had her back to the viewer, her head bowed, her left hand resting on the mantelpiece above the fireplace. In her right hand she clutched a copy of a newspaper. We can see the masthead; the newspaper was the New Zealand Herald. Its slightly crumpled appearance and the caption of the work leaves no doubt that she had been reading the latest lists of men killed, wounded or missing in action. On the mantelpiece was a framed photograph of a man in a soldier’s uniform. Her left hand touched its frame. Hers was a pose of sorrowful resignation within the privacy of a domestic setting. Superimposed on the upper left side of the image was a photograph of a clump of soldiers with their bayonets at the ready, with one figure in the foreground falling back as if fatally wounded. The inclusion of this picture of a battle scene suggested that she was imagining the unfolding of events somewhere on the Western Front. We do not know whether she was mourning the loss of a specific individual — lover, husband, brother — or whether her sorrow was a more generalized grief in response to the sheer excess of youthful tragedy represented by the casualty list.

    A Dictatorship of Taste Cultural Nationalism and the Function of the Critic 1947-1961 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of The Requirements for the Degree of Masters of Arts in English in the University of Canterbury By Anne-Maree Mills University of Canterbury 2009 In terms of some green myth, sailing or drowning, Each day makes clear a statement to the next; But to make out our tomorrow from its motives Is pure guessing, yesterday’s were so mixed. Sailing or drowning, the living and the dead, Less than the gist of what has just been said. (‘Sailing or Drowning’, Allen Curnow, 1940). Criticism is much criticised. But this logically establishes its title to exist. Criticism never decides anything. It is an argument. The argument goes on. (W. W. Robson, 1982:56) For New Zealand, then, these islands in the south-west Pacific, the growth of national feeling has meant a double exploration of the independence, in the region of politics – in the widest sense – and in the region of the mind. In either case, within the broad stream of the British tradition, the history of the country has been the history of its discovery – a discovery continuing still – of a tradition of its own.
