Nihorere (wild teeth) Daughter of Papakura and Tuhuru, Nihorere fought alongside her parents and Iwi travelling from south Canterbury to Te Tai Poutini. Blood was shed during this battle. It is significant to discuss that after the sucessful battle to conquer the West coast Papakura laid her korowai down in Runanga and graciously spoke for anyone that wanted to leave the new area and travel back to the East Coast could rightfully do so. Let it be known that by the devision of the korowai crossing over to one side would mean remaining on the West Coast, to stay still would mean travelling back to the East. The shark teeth are symbolic to Nihorere and Papakura. The work itself is relevant as the story of battle and negotiation speaks of blood shed and respect. The use of kanohi te kanohi is an honorable way of discussion and shows the growth from grief and war. Fired clay shark teeth on rope. The works base is painted and varnished plywood.3 of 3 .

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.
