Where I'm From - Rohe 1

'Where I'm From' is a series of circular artworks made from discarded materials that I salvage from old houses in my local area. Most of the homes are from a bygone era, each containing unique elements that I find interesting and worth saving for the next generation.

Rohe is a Maori word that translates to 'the territory or boundaries of Iwi (tribes), which I interpret as 'Where I'm from'.
