Kumeroa by Hikurangi Edwards
Dimensions: 410 x 410 x 50mm
Kumeroa refers to the “long drag/long pull”. It symbolises endurance, labour, long paths, transition from wild to cultivated land, and transformation. All paths that we take in life.
Hikurangi meticulously hand-carves into layers upon layers of paint from her Wellington studio, a technique she calls mahi whakairo peita. Often guided by her tīpuna, she uses contrasting colours to acknowledge contemporary lifestyles, whilst telling stories of the past, present, & future. The soft, yet confident curves of the koru give depth & texture, drawing you in to an art that must be touched. All of which speaks to the dichotomy of the two worlds she navigates.
