Digital Weaving by Tanya Ruka

Matariki Exhibition Opening Night @ Corbans art gallery.
Small piece of film on my digital weaving moving image projection. Opening night (poured with rain) we had it projecting on to the outside wall of the Gallery.

This piece was inspired by the Maori creation myth of Ranginui God of the Sky & Papatuanuku Goddess of the Earth who were separated during the creation of the world. I have digitally woven the lovers back together as Taniko pattern, traditionally made by weaving flax

Thanks Janet :)

Documentary on 'the Maori' - which 'Maori' is this geared towards? All Maori? Sounds interesting. Are you an anthropologist?

Tanya is a Maori Artist - she could maybe give you some advice too.

Good luck.

you have a lot of talent but you need better quality video and a tripod to do justice to youre work .

Im writting a documentary on the Maori which will incorporate Maori art as a thread throughout. Your digital weaving concept is very interesting for film...

thank you again and keep on creating.
