Ko Shani Tōku Ingoa | Limited Edition Giclee Fine Art Print

Number 6 in the “Wāhine in Gold Series “ by artist Josh Kiwikiwi. This ongoing series focuses on what is Polynesian, namely who identify as wahine Māori, and how can they be represented. 

Embellished in gold Josh respectfully illustrates powerful imagery. Referencing from both the Māori world and other cultures that are intertwined with it, Josh depicts strong wahine from Aotearoa and the wider ao. 

“Ko Shani Tōku Ingoa” Is a personal piece for Josh and his whānau, as it depicts his older sister, a strong wahine whom he and others look to. She not only represents their whānau, but all wāhine Māori who are special to their families.
