Archaeology has inspired some New Zealand art.
Carol Fletcher is a Raglan based artist. In some of her output she works with found objects - the sort of items that archaeologists conserve from sites or pick up on field surveys. She displays these in the form of arrays or organised series as if the objects were being formally classified. Brown (2009:128)[1] notes her training is in mathematics and anthropology but not archaeology.
Gordon Walters 1919 - 1995. Walters is a major figure in 20th century New Zealand art. His art combines Maori symbols into geometric abstract art. His introduction to Maori figures came in 1946 on a visit to Theo Schoon who was photographing Maori rock art at Opihi River. [2]
Robert Ellis has produced many paintings in a theme of Rakaumangamanga - a pa site in Northland. An example more clearly illustrative than some is in Te Papa[3].
Russell Jackson often includes pa sites in his landscapes. An example - a pictue of Mt Eden Maungawhau is here[4].
"Russell Jackson draws his subject matter from his interest in ornithology and archaeology. He is especially known for his coastal landscapes and birdlife rendered with a particularly New Zealand feel, in enamel paint[5].
