Tuarongo - Original Carved Painting

Tuarongo - Original Carved Painting | Hikurangi Edwards

Hikurangi Edwards is a Māori Artist based in  Pōneke / Wellington, New Zealand. Hikurangi intricately hand carves images inspired by her culture into layers of acrylic paint.

Hikurangi applies layers of acrylic paint to custom-made framed plyboard & then steadily carves through the layers of paint - exposing the multiple colours layered beneath.

The results are textured images rendered in negative relief that accentuates the stunning tonal variations & hand-carved details.

Tuarongo - is the back wall of a whare tipuna and is what you see when one enters the whare.

It is a key structural component of a whare.
