	Te Arai o Hako 1999 Korowai 2 - Mylar, acetate, feathers, wool threads, trims 140 x 150 cm "This work draws on the form of Maori Korowai (cloaks) to embody my perceptions of the changes of land use and land rights that our people have experienced over the last 159 years. It reflects the changing nature from the reality of the days of our Tipuna (ancestors), the 'old world', to the reality of our people today."
