About the Work
“This
piece
is
woven
in
a
traditional
manner
but
uses
paper
rather
than
harakeke.
I
really
like
the
way
the
whakairo
is
still
able
to
be
seen,
even
when
the
whenu
are
the
same
colour,
and
how
the
pattern
is
changed
for
these
solid
colour
blocks,
while
carrying
echoes
of
the
whakairo
around
it.
Mumu
is
a
Whanganui
pattern,
and
I
like
this
take
on
it,
with
the
big
blocks
of
black
and
cream
making
up
the
pattern.”
