The Gloaming - Curated by Tru Paraha
-The gløaming evokes unhuman terrortories of Te Pō where bodies collude in a blackening choreosphere.
“A pleated vinyl folding door opened at the start of Kelly Nash’s piece revealing Anja Packham’s eerie, self-absorbed, cell phone stare flashing poses for back-lit selfies. After tucking the phone into her bosom, the smile of satisfaction on her face spread to a deeper glow within her gut. She slowly undressed, peeling her wrinkled skin suit inside out, shedding pendulous breasts, the phone, and balloon rubber growths. Her naked ‘inner self’ disappeared into a puff of black smoke behind the concertina door as it slid across once more” - Moana Nepia Theatre View
”A work by Kelly Nash, in collaboration with, and performed by Anja Packham explored ideals of  the distorted selves and bodies. In deliberate discomfort where balloons were stuffed into stockings to appear as lost internal objects, ingested boils and boulders, Anja peels the outer layers to unload her inner revelations framed by slender latex body. It is deliberate, rough and undone”. Tia Reihana-Morunga
