"Mother Love: He Oha nā Te Whaea by Auckland artist Ursula Christel, embraces all. It is an inclusive, multi-layered conceptual idea that explores relationships between architecture, visual theatre and storytelling. Mother Love is a playful, three-dimensional composition where the existing spaces, wall colours and elevations at Mokopōpaki, 454 Karangahape Road, Central City, welcome and support diversity. In this small but challenging contemporary dealer gallery, a Māori centre encourages the possibility of an experience where different artworks, surface reflections and objects can be seen together as one. The unity of ambition and purpose is described in an extensive exhibition catalogue freely available online and at the gallery. In this spirited, behind-the-scenes, eyewitness account, visitors to Mokopōpaki are not only introduced to the ‘bigger picture’ and see a collaborative process at work but also learn how Mother Love the exhibition, became such a unique, site-specific declaration of intent and source of intrigue." – Mokopōpaki
