Puhoro
Puhoro, 2020 brings Adsett鈥檚 k艒whaiwhai painting practice into an accord with the South Atrium鈥檚 architecture. The puhoro pattern denotes, speed, agility and interconnectedness. Its repeat across the glass wall highlights the eternal nature of k艒whaiwhai, as it links one section to another in an expression of whakapapa (relational ties), echoing connection between people. Puhoro is radiant, colouring light like the stained glass windows we find in places of devotion. It is a glorious reminder of the timeless power of k艒whaiwhai and signals Adsett鈥檚 expertise in this artform.
Puhoro is one of the works in Toi T奴 Toi Ora: Contemporary M膩ori Art. Click here to learn more about the full exhibition.
