HAERE

This piece is a reflection on the migration route my whānau have recently taken from and back to Te Tai Tokerau. My inspiration comes from whenua and whakapapa, with a focus on the wāhine in my lineage who brought us into Te Ao Mārama. The whenua pigments used are uku from Waingongoro awa in Taranaki, karamea from Waimā and kōkōwai from Whangaruru, mixed with kauri gum and water.
