Under the watchful eyes of Matariki our puhoro journey started 5 days ago, a total of tattooing time on the table 23 hours. A massive effort from everyone involved and another warrior takes his place. Big mihi to Okiwa for his unwavering dedication to this kaupapa it was an honour to be apart of your journey. To my crew, Ronnie, Natalie, and Tumanako thank you all for your tautoko and aroha for this kaupapa.

Art does matter! Here are some moments from the last couple months. #houseofnatives
Been a minute but back in the Whare Kohatu today. We are preparing for a Pakohe exhibition held at the Nelson Museum around the 22nd of June curated by @hamuera89 All my pieces including this piece is for sale. If you’re interested please feel free to contact me via DM. This piece is inspired by early Polynesian breastplates often made from shell. Maori quickly adapted to new resources like pakohe and pounamu and began to develop new forms similar to this piece. The name of this piece is called Poho Ariki as these pieces were originally only worn by highborns or chiefly rangatira. If this sounds like you contact me. #houseofstone #houseofnatives #pākohe
