Te Reregna o te Tauhou is part of my Fight or Flight series. The recent works that I painted all feature manu / birds that are celebrating the joy of flight. In this painting a purposeful tauhou flies as if on a mission. The motion of the indian ink gesture implies the tauhou's flight path. Tauhou translates to meaning stranger / new arrival. These little manu / birds self-emigrated from Australia.

During the painting process their personalities evolve, taking on a wairua of their own. 
Lots of layers of paint have been carefully layered up to create a richness to the colours and subtle details, that are difficult to capture in a photo.

The title of this literally translates to The Flight of the Silvereye / New Arrival
