Rehua is intimately entwined with the season of raumati (summer), with Te Waru o Rehua revealing its brilliance when the warmth takes hold. Rehua, a whetū and an atua who resides in one of the highest realms once bestowed gifts of manu upon Tāne. These Manu a Rehua inspired my interpretations embodied in kōwhaiwhai, capturing the movement and dynamic essence of each of these taonga.
This exhibition is a dedicated homage to Ngā Manu a Rehua and Ngā Pōtiki a Rehua (the flying beings of Rehua, and the infants of Rehua), which flourish abundantly in Te Waru.
