Diane Prince (born 1952) is a painter, weaver, installation art practitioner and set designer and affiliates to the Maori iwi Ngā Puhi and Ngāti Whātua from the north of New Zealand.
It was about the loss of legal status Māori women experienced once laws from Britain were imposed after the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.
The curator said of the work: 'Veiled Legacy are images of loss and alienation, but the paintings also speak of Māori women's ongoing strength and resilience'.
