Shadows of the Light. Coming alive in its making. Shared. Spoken. Silhouetted, dreaming its formation into the Light of the Shadows. Not that of the perception seen. Partly represented, partly imagined.

With your food basket and my food basket the people will thrive.

I am deeply thankful and grateful to immediate & extended Whanau, friends, and communities who have supported me in launching my endeavours in a formal space within the Australian Arts Industry, a continuum of balance, discernment and intricate weaving. 
​
To my daughters Jeynara Jess & Livvy  - firstly for presence. Secondly for having patience and encouraging me beyond my capacities, supporting the Gen Y Z mode & beyond, from admin to hosting to prepping food. Thirdly for your flexibility warmth and smiles to jump in to  your Mummas world, passions & purpose.

To Whaea Nicci for your acknowledgments, whakaaro and presence .and always having my back.

Matua Pa Campbell & Kuia Hine Whiunui - our Maori Ambassadors of past and present.  Mentor, creative sister, friend and  POU Nina Maika accompanied with SiStar Terri-Anne  Goodfried - a blessed tribe you all are.
Thank you for bringing your magical gifts, your authenticity and genuineness in the way each of you walk within your own worlds and that of the Earth, constellating spaces in the uniqueness of trusting and being, for a purpose of service, humanity and Culture.

For friends who came from close and afar and those you brought with you. Whaea Brenda, Matua Mark, Ria, Claudia, Liz, The Pluck ups whanau, The Fitzgibbons and many more.😇💕

To Moreton Bay Community: Much gratitude to all those who attended workshops (and there are a lot 🙏🏼 ) to those who popped in, to the enquirers, the curious, the lost, the work opportunities and further invitations for the future... THANK YOU.

 And to Sammie, Victoria, Whaea Del, Heidi, Birgit and Kerri Anne. Without you none of this would have been possible; with your encouragement, expertise, referral and enlightenment from the beginning and from the end and the continuum. Thank you beyond words.❤️💕🙏🏼 

  And last of all to Moreton Bay Council and CAA, for the provision and opportunity of being able to share, experience, learn, embrace and let go!
The staff of the Hub - tumeke tangata. I would not have survived within the walls and boundaries of which you all mahi on a daily basis and beyond.
