Main themes are concerned with magic and nature. Mauri has a huge impact on my practice and trying to apply tikanga knowledge through process and journey and materials themselves. One archive I am working on is a memorial which i intend on being a platform for knowledge sharing, healing and bridging gaps between all New Zealanders and an effort to educate everybody so that we don't get as many huge tapu issues through lack of knowledge of the Maori culture. One area of exploration is the protocol in the treatment of harakeke and also how special and important it is to us.
