Home·land | Aida Smith Solo Exhibition | 12 March 2026
Home·land is a new body of work by Aida Smith that explores how the places we live shape who we become. Over time, home imprints itself on us: the geography we walk, work, and tend. Drawing on scenes from across Aotearoa New Zealand, Smith’s paintings move between the spectacular and the everyday, rendered through her soft touch and restrained palette.
These works consider how the land provides for us, and entwines our bodies, memories, and routines with place. Home·land reflects on belonging, care, and the ways landscapes continue to live within us long after we leave them.
