Kia Ora

The opening of the I AM TIKI Exhibition at Pataka Museum in Porirua, New Zealand.
~~~
My good friend and Artist, Hone John Moriarty greets the Public with traditional
Maori Blessings to open His Exhibition of new Art Works.
The display will run for a Month and has already been well patronized by those
in the Arts.
~~~
This type of Photography is not My forte, however, with a gathering of Artists,
Actors, Musicians and noted Film Makers, it brought out the Paparazzi Snapper in Me.

The *Tiki* is Sacred to the Maori and Hone John Moriarty will now take on the Chinese that are flooding the Country with cheap imitations which even bear the *Made in New Zealand* Logo.

Wow Tedz...an interesting series, I love to see whats going on in the art world...around the world I'm really interested in these Tikis which I'm sure must all have a meaning. Thanks for sharing !

Great to see yourself in what looks like normal dare I say "conservative" attire LOL! Next to a chap who looks like a handsome Maori Arnold Scwarzeneiger ( sure thats a sic lol). Your choice of Tiki goes well with your pinstripe shirt too.

Pictures of interest: This Multimedia Image of a Maori Princess, of whom Hone John Moriarty is a Descendant was initially made with the help of Cynlee ( a member here) who Modeled for part of the Creation.

The Head in the Image of many Tiki's is that of My beloved Mannequin. Her lovely Face is now the Mold for many Ceramics.
