Andy Leleisi'uao
Artwork Detail
After taking a journey to the Planet Lurka, the Ufological people of Samoa retreat and return to Earth. The Lurkas begin to observe these Pacific ‘foreigners’ with fascination. (Te Moananui a Kiwa, 2005)
By turning mythology on its head and introducing a futuristic science fiction, Andy Leleisiu’ao has developed a far-sighted response to being a first generation immigrant. He invents an entirely personal mythology about journeys, exploration and attitudes to the collecting of other culture’s artefacts.
