Hei Tiki Urban Nights
This painting focuses on the Indigenous urban experience, the notion of displacement from urban centres as gentrification and cost so of living have increased and the deep, ongoing and unwrenchable connection Māori have to the centre of community, the loci of ceremony, exchange and connection.
This painting is an acknowledgement of the changes taking place in the skies with the rise of seven sisters and the dawn of a New Year celebrating a shift to the Maramataka way of being.
This painting talks about weaving and the interconnections held by invisible, yet unescapable threads. Like the strands in the whāriki (traditional woven mat) we are all part of a larger pattern and are only strong when we come together.
