The 'Tiki Wananga" by Dion Hutch and Charles Koroncho is 3 large sculptures which have links to Maori cultural art. The sculptures title in english terms "God stick" is an object that early Maoris used for rites. Priest would use 'Tiki Wananga" to call upon Gods to bless and help their tribes. Tiki Wananga are usually small but Dion Hutch and Charles Koroncho sculptures are large. I really like the shape it has with the patterns, parallel lines and the fibric optical cables has formed. I really like the way the fibric optical cables has wrapped itself around the sculptures and the way it steadily holds the sculpstures down form the ceiling. the sculptures being wrapped around with fibric optical cables reminds me of Christo "wrapped" projects he has done throghout the past and is similar in a way with both artists work being "wrapped". This work relates to the mould shapes work I just finished in my studio class.
