An interview with Darryn George on his new project in which the walls themselves become the artwork. Stretching more than fifty metres and reaching from floor to ceiling, Pulse is an engulfing fusion of customary Māori art and contemporary abstract painting. Using intricate patterns, chanting rhythms and an eye-popping palette of red, black and white, George fills the white expanse of the Sutton Gallery with a continual pulse of light, language and pattern.
