Paora Tiatoa

My journey has involved a fusion of influences, stories, bold colour and tohu (sign). These include Maori creation myths, ta Moko, taonga held in the British Museum, popular culture, art history, ‘DJ-ing’ and personal narrative. My screen prints are not about a single issue, but rather cover many issues that are interconnected. I am attracted to beauty in whatever shape or form it may present itself to me and hold things that are precious or have cultural significance paramount in my work.
