The Tāmaki Makaurau collection with chairs, a table, a mirror and photographs

Tāmaki Makaurau, 2025.
BRUSHED, TAINTED AND PAINTED PINE WOOD, CORRUGATED IRON, PHOTOGRAPHY.

In this collection of furniture and photographs, Jason Pocklington pays tribute to the city where he grew up — Auckland, New Zealand.

The city’s wooden houses, with their iconic horizontal lines — sometimes pristine, sometimes weathered by time — become the central motif of the series and form its visual framework.

Through this recurring element and the choice of materials, the artist explores Auckland’s cultural history: a dialogue between Polynesian roots and the influence of the British Arts and Crafts movement, where tradition and colonial heritage intersect and evolve.
