Description

Helen describes her artwork ‘Te Whare O Te Tangata’ as follows:

This house is for the people. It is somewhere for the homeless to live in so they can be happy. I made it because I wanted a lovely marae where we can all go to.

Art makes me feel happy.

I used Harakeke (flax), onion and wild ginger paper in my design. The tangata is made from recycled paper. I decorated the people and the carvings with ink pen.
