Title

Weaving of a Korowai

Media

Etching, watercolour, spray paint, feathers

Statement

I decided to weave/sew my own korowai as to feel a sense of connection to my ancestors and culture. I grew up not knowing any te reo and with no connection to my iwi. In a way this represents the forging of my future and the influence of my past and family on my future.
