Patterns of Nature
The ancient Māori designer has always been fascinated with abstract form. Through observing nature in her natural state they could observe that everything moved in a certain rhythmic and cyclic pattern. These patterns were interpreted as kowhaiwhai or Māori scroll patterns. They were used in whakairo - Māori carving, as well as Tā Moko .
For thousands of years Māori artists have
painted, shaped and carved patterns into a rich assortment of artworks
of all shapes and sizes. With the introduction of European tools
and technology, Māori carvers over a period of time did away
with the old traditional green stone carving tools and traded them
for the steel chisels. This would revolutionize Māori carving
to what it is today.
With the coming of the digital and information
age designers are utilizing the latest in computer and design software
to create contemporary designs used as a tattoo or on just about
anything such as garments, clothing and textiles including print
to embellish and give beauty to form.
