"‘Selenaia’ was my take on the #streetprintsmanaia theme ‘weaving the threads of humanity’. A split image highlighting the dual ethnicity of model Selena Bellingham. Her clothing and adornments reflect both her Maori and Filipino heritage as well as the attributes associated with them." @findac Jan. 31, 2019
⠀⠀⠀
"I didn’t have an artistic background. My life and how it had gone wrong was what drove me to be an artist but it never influenced the content of my work.... I leave it up to the viewer to get whatever they want from my work by deliberately being ambiguous about its content."

⠀⠀⠀
"The artwork you're most proud of? Not specifically an artwork, but actually just being an artist. Because I started very late in life and just becoming an artist was an achievement in itself. (He was 41 when he did his first wall.)

'Hongi - The breath of life - I painted this mural for Street Print Manaia Festival.
HONGI is the traditional Māori greeting in New Zealand. It is done by pressing one’s nose and forehead (at the same time) to another person at an encounter.
During the hongi, the “ha”, or breath of life is exchanged and intermingled.
The breath of life is also considered the sharing of both parties’ souls.
Through the exchange of this physical greeting, one is no longer considered “manuhiri” visitor, but rather “tangata whenua, one of the people of the land.' @_millo_
