About The Artwork
A Lovers Dance is a 70cm diameter circle painting Tamanui Te Ra pulled not torn, Hine Takurua your winter has arrived, He rises he sets, Hine Raumati your time grows near Tamanui Te Ra has two wives, Hine Takurua his winter wife, Hine Raumati his summer wife. This work is a contemporary representation of their story. During the winter solstice Hine Raumati his summer wife can not see Tamanui Te Ra until summer returns. It is said that Tamaunui Te Ra during winter spends his time being pulled in the early morning by Hine Takurua. Inspired by the ancient bronze disc discovered in Germany. The use of gold flake to represent the constellations is significant in relation to the ancient artefact where embossed gold was used as representations of the sun, moon and Pleiades.

I am a practising visual artist of Te Atiawa and Ngai Tahu New Zealand decent. I have been practising visual art since the age of 14 and had my first collaborative exhibition at 18. I have collaborated in Te Whare Tangata the female essence exhibition, Tauranga and featured on 4 of Ngai Tahu’s Te Panui Runaka covers with my body of work titled ‘Migration’ making the September 2018 edition. As a creative I explore a variety of concepts from my culture where I challenge the written and art history about Maori culture to modern publicity the male gaze and female objectification. I received a special commendation award from the Tauranga Art Gallery for her 2018 body of work ‘Invitant Le Regard’.Recently exhibiting in Te Hā o Waitaiki 2019.
