Tahā is a storage vessel for food or water, here instead it provides a light source to assist reading. Aesthetically a balance of sculpture and structure is achieved, an ancient visual language envelopes the outer surface, transmitting knowledge from the past. A safe space is provided for those who seek to extend themselves, intellectually and spiritually. Toitu te Tiriti.
Āhuru Mōwai : A safe space
A collection of objects called Āhuru Mōwai have emerged at the Making Matters exhibition. Āhuru Mōwai means a safe space, for an individual to practice and learn their ancestral language. Conceived from an East Polynesian origin and crafted in Aotearoa Te Iri and Te Tahā link the whakapapa of distant lands together. From Hawaiki nui Raiatea to Aotearoa.
