Career

Corneal has exhibited both internationally and nationally since 1988. A consistent theme in her work is Māori female empowerment.[1][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.[3][2] Throughout her career, Corneal has been involved in varying artist collectives.[4] 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.[5] 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.[1]
