Culture Cradle Series "Small pod waka" 610mm x 305mm 24.01 " x 12.00" SOLD The Maori waka reminds the artist of a seed pod many of which make long journeys on ocean currents and with a vast amount of luck find new lands to colonise. A metaphor for similar human endeavour.			Culture Cradle Series " It give and it takes away" 510mm x 410mm 20.08" x 16.14" SOLD Growing our culture without losing touch with what has gone before is balancing act we still attempt to master in our multicultural society. Our hot volcanic ribbon of earth tolerates us for the meantime.

The Gathering series of works portrays emotively the artist's sense of belonging to a family - both immediate family and in a broader sense the family of Aotearoa - New Zealand.

Culture Cradle (first in a series). This painting is the first in a series of works inspired by the ongoing media analysis about New Zealand's cultural identity.
