Cliff Whiting's "Te Wehenga O Rangi Rāua Ko Papa"

(details in AltText)

#Māori #carving #photography

A wide panoramic mural by Māori artist Cliff Whiting titled "Te Wehenga O Rangi Rāua Ko Papa." The artwork features vibrant red, blue, and natural wood tones. At the center, a large carved figure of Tāne Mahuta is depicted upside down, using his legs to push the Sky Father away from the Earth Mother. Surrounding him are other carved ancestral figures (Atua) set against intricate backgrounds of kōwhaiwhai scrolls, sunburst patterns, and geometric tukutuku designs.
