This is an acrylic on plywood painting. I am currently creating a whole range of Atua Maori in a simple fun expression, though strong and rich in mnemonics, one can learn from.
This particular piece is of Tangaroa, he has a serpentine form, the drip shape in-between his tale reminds us of water. He is embellished in fish-scales that offer him protection.
The blue colour reminds us of the sea, beyond this it reminds us of communication, creativity and the arts.. seeing the whole and so forth.
He is holding his own ancient symbol in the form of a tiki-wananga.
The double spiral represents evolution of the physical and spiritual.
This is a continual volunteer project I have planned with Parone Street Kindy, Taumarunui.
