Discover the art of possibility with Te Heke #11 - Original Carved Painting by Hikurangi Edwards.

Te Heke tells stories of our people migrating from their homelands to find a new home as a result of inter-tribal war. In particular, the high chief Te Rauparaha of Ngāti Toarangatira who chose to bring his people south from Kawhia to Kāpiti, Wellington and to the top of the South Island. The tribe traversed through Taranaki and faced many adversities on their way, in the hope of finding a new safe home.

The koru represent individuals and families, some scouting ahead then returning for the young or elderly, some taking a more direct path while others travelled a longer but safer journey. This story reminds us that we’re all on a journey, and sometimes, we take different paths to get to where we need to be.

Handcrafted by the Māori Artist, these unique paintings are made from layers of custom-made framed plyboard and acrylic paint. As the layers are carefully carved, the stunning tonal variations & intricate detailed texture reveals itself, introducing an inspiring and passionate work of art.
