Abstract
[extract] “I’m interested in what you can’t see in collections...where this has been, what its function could be and how it still exists today...artists have a perspective that may assist in keeping some of these things in the way these objects always were made, but [also] ensuring that they evolve as well because that's part of the culture”. Artist Latai Taumopeau talking about a Ngatu, a traditional bark cloth from Tonga, in the Australian Museum collection.
