HARINI PICKERING
Whaea Atawhai
Weaver & Mixed Media Artist
Artist Bio:
Based in Warkworth, Harini has been weaving for a number of years, developing a method to combine traditional knowledge with contemporary techniques and materials. The result is a more bold and contemporary style, with emphasis on feathers to bring vibrancy.
She enjoys creating beautiful pieces of wearable contemporary Maori art, whether it be a full-sized cloak, shoulder cape or chest and neck pieces; as well as Contemporary Korowai wall-hangings, from miniature to very large size.
