The beautiful Kapiti Coast

An excursion to Raumati Beach in New Zealand this week as part of an art workshop with visiting Australian artist India Flint.
Driftwood reminisent of a tuatara lizard.
The steer in the paddock outside our class window at Whitireia Polytech, Kapiti campus.

Moana's art cloth in progress - using India's natural dyeing processes to colour the map of our local landscape, as well as mark making with stitch and hapuzome (pounding prints directly onto cloth) ... a new and surprising kind of beautiful.
