Weaving worlds alongside my baby sister

Kia ora e te whanau. Ko wai au? Ko Rangimārie au nō Te Aupōuri Ngāpuhi nui tonu! Ko Tauranga Moana tōku kāinga. I thought I should do a post to acknowledge who and why. I am currently a haututu artist, where I dwell in many mediums. The one that calls me the most would be the Pungawerewere 🕸️ for I am deeply drawn to weaving, tho I am recently starting to dive back into wairua mahi as well. This mahi page I have created since 2020 tryna sell hoodies with reo maori and mental health awareness, has transitioned and transformed into art collectives alongside my two haumis maka & parns were we where called NATIVEASF. This collective was truly a beautiful few years together, and with love we released this collective to further pursue our own journeys. After my brother died to su***de i found myself going inwards and I could only navigate so much by myself, untill I was provided a safe space by my dear friend Johnna to reconnect with myself, there fore connecting to wairua. This mahi with Johnna reconnected myself with the paintbrush again. There was a painting I done with no thought; I used the paintbrush to guide me to my inner knowing, and I like to call this wairua painting, where I have absolutely no plan just paint. Everytime I wairua paint I am revealed things I hide from myself or block or suppress…it was in this painting I could see tohu, I could feel spirit. I called this painting Tūruapō after all the dreaming, tohu, visions….i found someting that has been calling me deep within my soul, since i was very young, that i have love to share. I have dreams to share, to create, to breathe into life. I am a dreamer so how does this flow with my mahi? How do I create a space where I can be pono to me, those around me, the whenua? This is something I am still establishing as being a solo mum who has left abusive relationship I am still navigating being able to keep my son safe and healthy while remaining pono to us as māmā and son. Creating generational wealth while remaining pono to the whenua is the ultimate goal for papakāinga dreaming. So for now I’m just happy to be here to share the dream. I think I went off track but that’s me, Rangimārie 🐉🧝‍♀️
