Mixed Media collage

30cm x 23cm

Touching on the power of language, this piece is based on an 'inside joke', told in jest; that "Aotea was the first waka to our shores- we dropped our 'h' and the others picked them up".

This letter h while softly sounding locally, highlights the complexities of cultural heritage and impact of linguistic nuances on our understanding of the past
