Description
Summary:Traditional Māori arts are closely linked to nature, which accounts for the fascination they inspire among Europeans; in this sense, they are fully aligned with a double process of naturalisation, both in their inspiration and in their spectacular dimension, to which is added another dimension, in relation to their status as a cultural treasure (taonga). Contemporary artists draw on this tradition to answer the questions of their time, linked to their bicultural nation and its relationship to colonial history, to the ethics of cultural appropriation, to consumption in the globalised world… This paper examines the naturalist motif of the spiral in its different avatars—koru (the basic form of the spiral), kowhaiwhai (paintings), moko (tattoos)—to analyse these processes.
