Statement |
I chose to use my pounamu manaia taonga as the subject matter for my work as it represents the bond I have with my grandfather. To depict this in an art work feels as though I have honoured it in some small way. The colour palette uses vibrant colours to symbolise the energy and power it contains. There is an interesting story about how I got it. My grandad was fishing in the sea off the West Coast, when he pulled up his net and found the entangled pendant. It was a beautiful bright piece of pounamu skillfully crafted in a manaia design. He said he knew right away that it was meant for me because my name is ocean. It has always been very special but I only realised how special when I lost it at school after photocopying it for art. It felt like part of me was missing but thankfully, after a couple of days it was found. .
