Overview
The House of Tiatia is from a group of works based on professional Samoan rugby players working in Italy and France. The photographs and sports souvenirs in the players’ homes back in New Zealand express longing for absent sons and pride in their achievements. This is the Christchurch home of Jason Tiatia who had relocated to France to play for the Grenoble Rugby Club.
