Mixed media and acrylic on boxed canvas
Location - Waikaha Gallery
From a pure paint perspective, these paintings highlight interesting
relationships between color, metalics and the relief patterns.
The relief glue pannels give the dimension of carving in a contemporary way,
accentuated by metallic highlights. I wish to explore modern techniques, and
materials from the point of veiw of my Ancestors, including the paradox of
materialism and earning a living, and quantity and speed Vs. quality and
craftsmanship.
These are the issues which cause conflict within modern Maori, and permeate not
only the work, but the doing.
