Artist's Interpretation:
With a heartfelt homage to the traditional Niho Taniwha design, Ange Moko crafts a profound narrative about identity and belonging. This piece symbolises the protective embrace of your maunga (mountain), urging a perpetual remembrance of one's origins and the inherent value woven within one's whakapapa (genealogy). It is an invitation to frequently return to the roots that ground us, reinforcing the ties to our land and ancestors.
Materials:
The panel is expertly crafted from MDF board, with faux leather aho (threads) meticulously woven to bring the pattern to life. This modern interpretation of a time-honoured design bridges the gap between tradition and contemporary decor, making it a fitting addition to any space.
Dimensions:
- 420mm x 300mm
