Waharua 1/12

Waharua - Lithographic Print set | Alexis Neal 

This contemplative double-framed work is a set of lithographic prints from the "Carte De Visite" series by artist Alexis Neal.

The piece is presented in two dark, hinged wooden frames featuring a delicate silver-beaded inner border.

The left frame contains a poignant quote reflecting on the nature of a rare artifact, describing its delicate surface, fine chisel marks, and the untold stories of the life it has led.

The right frame showcases a detailed lithograph of a botanical form, depicting a native leafed branch set against a textured, atmospheric background.

This series utilises a formal Victorian aesthetic to explore the intersections of Māori identity, historical narratives, and the deep connection to ancestral taonga.

It is a powerful example of contemporary printmaking that examines the preservation of culture and the enduring spirit of the land.
