Artist Statement:
Tidal expresses the connection between the abundant, fertile nature of the oceans, seas and surrounding environs of the Oceanic region, and the variety and richness of culture that developed there. The colourful flowing skirt mimics and ebb and flow of the ocean currents and the trade winds. While its colour embodies the oceans richness. The skirt and belt are encrusted with jewels which symbolise the treasures of the ocean collected by man. The headdress, collar and staff are symbols of human culture and are an acknowledgement of the peoples, tribes and races of Oceania.
A collaboration with Larissa Murdock for WAM 2017
