Even the broken taonga can be turned into works of art. You just need time to develop more skills.

Have you ever wonder what a carvers life would look like if our tūpuna didn’t create the hei tiki, as a carver I’m thankful that our tūpuna have created such beautiful art to pull creativity from such as the hei tiki.

Hei - to suspend/hang
Tiki - first man

All these taonga are for one special whānau

Exploring toki forms is a good way to reconnect with the basic, sometimes we get lost in the complex designs and forget that the toki is the foundation.
