A BETTER PLACE

by Shane Dudley
This contemporary work reimagines the traditional Māori Toki (adze), a symbol of strength and craftsmanship. Shane incorporates copper wire and flax rope as binding elements—representing two cultures coming together, still in the process of fully connecting.
A rusted steel finish references British colonial influence, while the pounamu-inspired blade honours Māori heritage and spiritual resilience.
