Ko Māhinarangi tōku ingoa, he uri ahau nō Ngāti Kahungunu. I am a high school student at Inglewood High School, and my journey as an artist is deeply connected to my whakapapa and the stories that shape me.
My artwork is a reduction woodcut print of a guitar. The process of reduction woodcut printing reflects the layering of experience—each cut is a decision, a carving away to reveal something deeper.
The vibrant colours in my work are chosen to create harmony, much like the way music brings people together. This print is a celebration of creativity, storytelling, and the importance of expression through both visual and musical forms.
