Description
“Hui Te Ananui” was created for Māoriland Film Festival by artist, Tayla Hartemink.
“Within this illustration I have drawn from traditional narratives, pūrākau kōrero which relate to our many connections to our oceans, our rivers, and our wetlands. This narrative relates to the origin of whakairo, our traditional carving practices and how this comes from Tangaroa, the god of the sea. According to our kōrero tuku iho, the original whare whakairo (carved meeting house) is called Hui te Ananui. Unlike our carvings today, the carvings of Hui te Ananui were alive and could speak. Within my drawings I hope to express the otherworldly nature of our pūrākau kōrero through vivid colours. Using our traditional designs within digital art I draw from Mātauranga Māori, Māori knowledge and incorporate the magic of our traditional stories and the love that I have for our incredible histories. For me, bringing our stories and artforms into digital platforms demonstrates the infinite potential of indigenous storytelling in our contemporary reality. Kau mau kē tō tātou wehi te whānau whānui o Māoriland!”
