Te Hā o Hine-ahu-one

Te Hā o Hine-ahu-one the dignity and power of women, is a tribute to women as child-bearers of whakapapa. As a digital piece presented in an acrylic medium the work blends both the artificial or new intelligences to reference an age-old process of body marking. Featuring exploratory designs from the artist's practice of tā moko or customary Maori tattoo, a practice she began over thirty years ago, the tattoo piece is entirely imagined from ideas both completed and not yet realised.
