Shared Lines: Pūtahitanga 2020
The kakahu metaphorically represents Aotearoa working collectively to control the spread of covid 19. Plastic tags form the body of the cloak and represent the digital age, which saw many of our nation move from working face to face, into remote engagement through digital forms of technologies.
