Hononga 1
The pattern in
the prints Hononga 1, 2 and 3 is called Hononga. It represents the
coming together of separate entities or environments and the life that
is created from that union.
In this
painting it is used to represent the area in which the sea and earth
meet and the unique and diverse life that can be found here.
Living in the
far north of our country I can never be far from the coast and my wonder
is heightened with each visit. Life and beauty are often overlooked in
our daily routine but I am fascinated by just one footprint left in the
sand. Looking closely you can see many things in the one footprint even
whilst it is being washed away by the sea.
The seabirds I
am most envious of for they are of the sky, the sea and the land.
Envious of their freedom, but saddened for their future. The feather
represents the birds and their connection to all
