Ko Te Pū, Ko Te Riri
I’ve based my work off my passion for anime. I am inspired by the animation style of drawing. The characters on the page are full of rage. In the process of creating this work I started multiple drawings but did not believe in my skills. I felt a lot of frustration so I ripped the pieces and they landed on a blank piece of paper. From frustration, an idea sparked in my mind from one little rage.
Ko te pū, ko te riri ka puta ko te āhuatanga.
