Wahine Ono

Wahine Ono - Embodying the Flow of Life

The center stage is graced by a silver-haired, silver-eyed Māori woman, a representation of wisdom, experience, and the beauty of aging. Her hair, depicted by strands of yarn, extends past the frame, breaking the boundaries for a delightful 3D effect. This innovative technique breathes life into the piece, making it an engaging visual experience from every angle.

Against the backdrop of a dark blue night sky, the "Ngaru" motif comes to life, symbolizing waves, movement, and the ever-changing flow of life. This traditional Māori pattern adds depth and significance, creating a stark contrast with the silver figure at the forefront and the Monk's Cloth backing.

Set within an 11" diameter circular wooden frame with a depth of 1/2 inch, "Wahine Ono" is a testament to the beauty of Maori heritage and the transformational power of art. The piece combines an assortment of yarns and fibers, each contributing to the complexity and charm of the work.

Arriving ready to hang, "Wahine Ono" is more than a piece of art; it's a piece of heritage that encapsulates the strength, wisdom, and dynamism of wāhine Māori. Hang it in your space to create a captivating focal point and keep the conversation flowing, just like the ever-undulating ngaru.
