Susan Te Kahurangi King

Susan Te Kahurangi King (born 1951) is an autistic[1] artist from New Zealand who found international fame in 2009.

[4] She has methodically created an entire analogous world through drawings using pen, graphite, coloured pencil, crayon and ink.

[5] In the middle-to-late 1970s, King produced intricate, hypnotic dreamscapes that powerfully blend animals, humans and inanimate objects into networked tapestries.

During the 1980s, King began to reduce the representational content of her drawings, instead focusing on diagrammatic compositions with a cell- or map-like structure.

The publication was released in conjunction with a solo exhibition of King's works at MARCH titled "The Gradual and Inevitable Dissolution of Mickey Mouse" in June 2024.
