About the Work
“My
eyes
are
first
drawn
to
the
beautiful
korowai
being
worn
by
this
wahine,
and
the
way
that
it
is
so
intricately
painted,
showing
the
perfect
spacing
between
each
row
of
whatu,
and
the
black
muka
tassels,
that
make
it
a
korowai.
It
makes
me
really
want
to
see
the
rest
of
the
cloak,
so
I
can
examine
it
up
close!”
