Ko te ara, ka puta mai

KATH LOUSICH ART

From pregnancy, birth to tamariki all comes with individuality. Embracing the uniqueness in ‘Ko te ara, ka puta mai’ the technique known as fauvism was most appropriate for its lively perception for the viewer. The colours are expressive of every differing experience.

The bold strong white koru kowhaiwhai panel is to unite both the journey and its singularity while simultaneously representing the close similarity of birth and life itself. Like the void of te Ao the black koru in the foreground is representative to the blank characteristics of an unknown life and future yet to come into fruition.
