Description

Maori woodcarving is enjoying popularity unparalleled in modern times. Since the groundbreaking Te Maori exhibition toured America and New Zealand, thousands of people have come to appreciate Maori woodcarving, with some 'having a go' at carving in wood themselves. Hirini Moko Mead, formerly Professor of Maori at Victoria University of Wellington and himself an accomplished carver, has written this book about what is surely New Zealand's most original and most representative art form. He details the tools and timbers, the styles, patterns and techniques in a clear and proven manner for the amateur carver. He examines the historical and cultural tradition of carving, its origins and development, tribal variations and interpretations. He also explores the survival and vitality of the art, not only in the context of pre-European society, but also against the background of a resurgent Maori consciousness in modern New Zealand.
