About Lily Eketone
Kia Ora koutou,
Ko pirongia te Maunga
Ko Waipa te Awa
Ko Tainui te Waka
Ko Pohatuiri te Marae
Ko Ngāti Maniapoto te iwi
Ko Lily Eketone ahau
Tēna koutou, Tēna Koutou Tena Koutou katoa.
Lily works in a contemporary Māori context where she explores her connection to her culture and who she is as wahine Māori. Creating works that immortalise the stories of her own and others’ lives and history is what drives her creativity. Connecting to and understanding the beauty of her culture and being able to share this with others is the purpose behind what she does.
