About This Item
From the Foreword: "Te Puna is an exceptional and exciting book. it offers the first indepth examination by contemporary scholars of a range of art traditions from Te Tai Tokerau and demonstrates that we have had much to be proud of as creative tribal peoples. Cultural expression through the arts has always been an integral part of our identity as the people of Te Tai Tokerau, from embellishments on the majestic waka pahi to Ralph Hotere's powerful statement of the black Phoenix rising from the ashes, from Kura Te Waru Rewiri's rolling scrolls to the delicate woven kete of Sonia Snowden. This book is even more remarkable because it is written by museum curators, art critics, art historians and practitioners, all of whom trace their whakapapa (genealogy) to northern ancestors and maintain close ties with Te Tai Tokerau."
