A Place to Stand - Linocut Print by Auckland artist Jessica Scott-Petersen
“A Place to Stand” explores the idea of belonging — not just to a physical landscape, but to a lineage, a memory, a sense of self. It is about finding grounding in a world that often shifts beneath us, and reclaiming space that affirms identity, heritage, and purpose. This work is both personal and universal: a reminder that everyone deserves a place to stand, to speak, to be. Printed in gold ink and grounded in the natural forms of Aotearoa, the work celebrates the living connection between people and place, shaped by memory, culture, and nature.
