HEART OF ARTISTA
Artista wears her art on her sleeve.  An exhibition of people and the deep connection they have with their land.
Her garment breaks all the rules with the juxtaposition of  Rococo, art deco, and modernism, connected by a richly decorated cuckoo clock which symbolises the evolution of art movements throughout time.
Artista is inspired by surrealists Salvador Dali and Frida Kahlo.  Their paintings remain true to themselves as they paint completely uninhibited,  and free from constraint.
Artista escapes the tendrils of commercialism and her heart opens fully for the first time. ...Artista takes flight

"Tuki Tuki - World of Wearable Art 2016

The Maori Cloak is a river nourishing all living things. Tangata Whenua ensure the waters remain pure.

Maori have a spiritual and cultural connection to the land. There is an obligation of guardianship to protect the spiritual wellbeing of the land and waterways to ensure a sustainable ecosystem for future use.

Tuki Tuki illustrates how land and river rely on each other to remain healthy. As populations rise, so does the need to boost our food sources through increased sustainable farming.

The Tuki Tuki River is currently under the spotlight as a decision to build a dam is pending. Transparency in our processes, and careful research must prevail as vital decisions are made about its future. 

World of Wearable Art entry 2015 - Humannitor

World of Wearable art entry 2015 - Uniform Section ) revoluntionise the uniform)

“Humannitor” half man half robot Red Cross hero, caped in Roofing iron, food cans, medical scissors, taps spoons and blankets.  He wears the face of  Dugald MacKenzie a soldier saved  by Red Cross in Crete. His chest bares photos of those he saved, and those he could not.  Lest his memory-stick fail him.  In his pocket is a locket carrying the photo of a beautiful woman, waiting back home for her loved one to return. As programmed Humannitor will carry this safely to her and pass on a message of love. Do we really want technology to replace human instinct and compassion?
