Mātauranga

Artist Interpretation:

In this profound piece, Ange Moko encapsulates the essence of transmitting knowledge across generations. The artwork is an homage to the wisdom of our ancestors (tūpuna), urging us to live out their teachings and pass them on to our children (tamariki) and the generations that follow. It highlights the importance of storytelling and the practice of tikanga (customs), painting a vivid picture of resilience, reverence for the land, and a deep-seated pride in our history (hītōri). This tukutuku panel is not just a decorative item; it's a living narrative that strengthens our collective identity and celebrates the rich tapestry of our past.

Materials:

Crafted from MDF board with faux leather aho (threads), this piece marries traditional art forms with contemporary materials. The choice of circular dimensions symbolises the continuity of life and knowledge, with each thread interwoven to represent the interconnected stories and lessons that bind us.

Dimension Options:

• Small: 300mm diameter
• Large: 900mm diameter

Special Note from Ange Moko:
Kia ora! Thank you for your support and for welcoming this mahi toi (artwork) into your home. Handmade with love and care, each piece bears the mark of human touch, complete with slight imperfections that testify to its unique creation. Let these nuances be a reminder of the personalised attention and aroha that went into crafting your artwork, setting it apart from the impersonal nature of mass-produced items.

This tukutuku panel serves as a tangible connection to our heritage, a reminder of the enduring power of our stories and customs. It encourages us to embrace and share our legacy, fostering a sense of unity and pride in our cultural identity and the timeless wisdom that guides us.
