Shane Cotton’s *Down Under* is a 2004 print held at the Victoria and Albert Museum. It sits in a wave of New Zealand artists who rose in the 1990s. Cotton’s own roots are split: his Maori and European ancestry show up in the work’s deeper themes. He mixes symbols from both sides to talk about colonialism, identity, and what lasts after life. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
