Description
The artist's koorero for this work. "My style of poi is shown through whakapapa, my heritage that makes me who I am and te mauri o te poi is that which I demonstrate and share with the world. The poi displayed represent four elements with the fifth representing Ira Tangata.
When you feel drained go outside with your poi and swing your poi gracefully in front of you. Let the kohu take you to enjoy the beauty of the mist maiden and her sisters. There you will see Uenuku and his spectacular colours brighter than on Earth. Let them give you what you require. You need to be silent in mind to let them in and talk to you... tune in to them, they have a higher frequency, just take it all in... it may transform you and those around you."
