Rekereke – 3/3 – Mixed Media Painting

Title: Rekereke Artist: Rīhari Warnock Iwi: Ngāpuhi Description: Mixed Media Painting These works capture the movement and calls of the kūaka (godwit) as they rise through the morning mist and begin their annual migration from Pārengarenga Harbour in Muriwhenua. Sweeping lines across the surface echo the pathways they carve through the sky — fleeting, rhythmic, and full of motion. Created with ink and paint on heavy cold press paper, the works balance softness and energy, reflecting both the delicacy and endurance of these remarkable birds and their long journey across the world. Status: Rekereke Series of 3, No. 3/3 Materials: Ink and paint on 6000 gsm, cold-press paper Dimensions: 150 x 765 mm
