Hinaki Maquette - Copper Mesh, copper wire and crystals
"This body of work knocked my socks off! To master and use traditional skills in utterly inventive & creative ways . . . yet still respectful, even humble, to the history and origins of the knowledge. I needed a box of tissues! This is a lot more than an art exhibition!"
"The exhibition is truly superb, both in the work and the staging. The crafting is exquisite in detail, design and finish.
The use of harakek (flax) is a common thread, used in traditional Maori style or innovatively in conjunction with other materials."
