Graham Fletcher’s work visually communicates a Postcolonial discourse, exploring cross-cultural relationships between Western and non-Western peoples. His practice plays with preconceived notions of the coloniser versus the colonised, and the observer versus the observed. Of particular interest is the European predilection for housing Oceanic and African Tribal art in domestic settings; Here Fletcher explores how this practice can be subverted within a contemporary Pacific and New Zealand context.
