On Rat Bones

Featuring Tash Keddy, Ali Senescall, and Samuel Te Kani.

Tash Keddy (b. 1995) is an Aotearoa born and Prague-based artist who works in photography, sculpture, and installation. Working outwards from research into music, architecture, industrial objects, and clinical psychoanalytic theory, his practice questions the use-value of things, words, and ways of somatic perception.


Ali Senescall (b. 1995) is an artist living and working in Tāmaki Makaurau. He graduated with a MFA from Elam School of Fine Arts in 2022. His work is strongly influenced by film as an intrinsic part of how the world is reflected back to us. Memory is often infiltrated by what we see on screens and Ali’s work intends to blur the line of reality and make believe.


Samuel Te Kani (Ngāpuhi) is a full-time sexpert and part-time generator of critical essays and fiction ranging from innocuous to blasphemous. Host of the wildly popular Rats in the Gutter alongside Johanna Cosgrove, and video series Sex with Sam and Sam Tries Stuff, he is a pop culture authority and public face for the Ending HIV campaign. His writing has been published by a range of platforms including The Spinoff, The Pantograph Punch, Toi Māori Aotearoa, Re: News, and Art New Zealand.
