About the artist: Hāriata Mann
Ngāi Tuhoe / Ngāti Kahungungu ki te Wairoa
Showcasing the beautiful spirit and ancestry of Matariki, each whetū is encased in a border holding an origin story of the cluster. The imagery illustrates Tāwhirimātea, who threw his eyes to the sky in anguish of his siblings' deceit to split Papatūānuku and Ranginui. E tū Matariki ki te tahatū o te rangi ka mua, ka muri. Matariki stands on the horizon, a symbol of the past and the future.
