HUIA & CHRYSANTHEMUM
PATTERN
The Huia & Chrysanthemum features Kōwhai and Paisley motifs represented in a rhythmically repeating pattern. Greatly influenced by nature, the artist has created a compelling effect by using stylized florals combined with organic forms and decorative pieces. The Huia is one of New Zealand’s most iconic extinct birds. Because of its importance in the Māori culture and folklore tradition, the bird is regarded as tapu(sacred), and the wearing of its skin and feathers was reserved for people of high status. It belongs to a family of birds so ancient that no relation to this species is found anywhere else on Earth.
