Left: Cosmo McMurty watercolour used for project 3 of 101
I chose project 3 of 101 to talk about what I had learnt about doing this project.
The precedent Maori artist Micheal Parekowhai helped me to learn things about the Maori influence on art.
Parekowhai’s work is influenced by the inter-cultural conflicts that Maori face with Pakeha.
For example he addresses the idea that the Maori culture is a sold identity.
The idea of Maoridom in a diverse hidden concept has made me grow in how I want others to perceive my own ideas. This idea has helped towards my own work ethics and helped me to learn where my own position is, with my own work or any others work I may judge.
