Aotearoa
'My New Zealand.' Having the blend of both the Maori and European culture in her family, Collette wanted to explore what that means to her. The typical Maori design blending into paisley or lace is how she wanted to represent it in this piece.
Mixed media with resin bubbles, this piece is simple yet striking.
