Education

[edit]

Corneal holds a certificate in craft design (1988) and a diploma in craft design Māori (1991) from Waiariki Institute of Technology.[1] She is of Ngāti Tūwharetoa and Te Āti Haunui-A-Pāpārangi descent.[2]

Career

[edit]

Corneal has exhibited both internationally and nationally since 1988. A consistent theme in her work is Māori female empowerment.[3][2] From 2013 Corneal has collaborated with contemporary Māori dancer Louise Potiki Bryant.[2] Their performance work entitled Kiri references a creation narrative of the first Māori human, Hineahuone, and opened for the 2014 Tempo Dance Festival in Auckland.[4][2]

Throughout her career, Corneal has been involved in varying artist collectives.[5] She was a founding member, alongside Manos Nathan, Baye Riddell, Wi Taepa and Colleen Waata Urlich of Ngā Kaihanga Uku, a collective of Māori clay workers.[6] Corneal was also involved with Kauwae, a collective of Māori women artists formed in 1997; Te Rōpū o Ngā Wāhine Kai Whakairo, a collective of Māori women carvers and Haeata Women's Collective.[3]
