 
All Samoan born ministers
This slide is one of Andys most controversial works.
It's not being shown to be disrespectful to Samoan born ministers but
to illustrate how far apart our voices as New Zealand born can be and how
important it is for us to share our stories.
Risked threat of physical violence Auntie came to his aid and also a
couple of ministers that recognised it was a painting done in anger. While
some people were angry Andy said he hadnt painted it for the ministers.
He said he realised why he painted the work when a young man came up to
him and explained the painting and then said I know because thats what
happened to me.
