The Treaty of Waitangi Art Print

This is my interpretation of two cultures coming together around a table of good faith suspended by the grace of God in between two puna trees , ” silver ferns.” On the center of the table is the flagpole at the treaty of Te Tiriti o Waitangi grounds where the signing took place  on 6th February 1840. The two flags are the stitching at the hip for a partnership moving forward. Also on the table is the power of the feather pens ink and the cross represents Biblical stories.  The backdrop is our landscape Mountains , rivers, native birds and forena. The Mountain represents both the North and South island and the rivers at their Mountain’s feet. The native birds are the Môhua found on the hundred dollar note and the native flacon on the twenty dollar note. The Jug , candle and image God in the left corner are relevant to pioneering times and an influence from New Zealand painter Colin Mc Cahon.
