Helen Turinsky
KOWHAI PATTERN
My inspiration for this work was a found fragment of “willow pattern'”pottery.
As the Willow pattern is quintessentially English, I have used it as a base to explore my position as an English Imigrant to New Zealand.
I have redrawn and renamed the pattern “Kowhai pattern.” I have replaced the main features with what to me symbolise NewZealand: The willow tree with a kowhai tree; the boat with a waka; the two birds are Tui's; the temple is replaced with a grand local house and the fence is of course a picket fence.
I have then taken these elements to create jewellery celebrating NZ |
