Whiro - Giclée print on textured cotton rag. Limited edition of 20 in sizes A3, A2 & A1.

‘Whiro’ is based on the Atua, Whiro (Whirotetipua). He is one of the sons of Rangi and Papa, and is often referred to as the Atua of darkness. He has a strong connection to lizards as they are considered his representation on earth. A misunderstood Atua, as he wasn’t considered ‘evil’ in pre-european times, but rather the Atua of transformation. Whiro is the new moon cycle in the maramataka, a time for rest, reflection and new beginnings.
