- Textured resin was inspired by embossed
wax impressions and traditional Tapa Cloth made from the Mulberry tree
bark which is used in garments, mats and other decorative items commonly
available in markets around Auckland. The textured resin technique was developed in
three designs: the Tapa
pattern,the Flax design and the Tapa Flower.
-
- The Tapa flower is a simple petal shape stepped
and repeated over the entire surface.
- The shape is a common element
in tapa cloth and oriental design, one representing the Frangipani flower,
the other a grain of rice.
-
- The vases and bowls have been carved
with relief patterns. When cast in translucent resin they create a
luminous texture. The vase shapes were formed in wax, then tools were
pressed directly into the surface, creating an embossed pattern from
which moulds were cast, capturing the handwork perfectly
