Medium: Hand-pulled silk-screened paint on pure brass with wooden backing frame.
Specs: Each artwork is 650mm H x 465mm wide. The wooden back-frame comes complete with metal brackets and paper template for easy installation, and floats the artwork proud of the wall surface. No framing is required. Affixed verso (back of the artwork) is the authenticity label, each with its own unique identifier code. Packaging is eco-friendly. Peata Larkin’s artworks glow gold with shimmering light in abstract mark-making which coalesce into form reminiscent of Māori weaving traditions and DNA strands. Fields of colour shift and the perforations in the brass surface throws subtle constellations of patterns onto the wall.
About: Titled Aumārire_Harmony, the artworks are conceived as a quartet (4), and can also be installed as a triptych (3), as a pair (2), or individually (1). The musical title, and sound-wave design elements reflect the artist’s musical inspiration, and her support for keeping the green doors of Kāhui St David’s centre for music open for the community.
Each work in the series has the greens of the earth and blues of the sky. Sound waves representing the Wairua_Ether element flow up from the bottom of each work, and connect all four.
The artist’s hand in the individual brush-strokes are transposed through hand-pulled silkscreens in layers are laid onto the brass of the artwork’s surface. Colour refracts and shifts through the day and at night, responsive to its environment and our perspective
The cause: Your purchase of Aumārire_Harmony - one, two, three, four, or a multi-artwork installation - will support the keeping the green doors of Kāhui St David’s centre for music open, cultural and historic heritage destination for the region and all Aotearoa New Zealand.
