About this Artwork
‘Whiro’ is based on the Atua, Whiro (Whirotetipua). He is one of the sons of Rangi and Papa, and is often referred to as the Atua of darkness. He has a strong connection to lizards as they are considered his representation on earth. A misunderstood Atua, as he wasn’t considered ‘evil’ in pre-european times, but rather the Atua of transformation. Whiro is the new moon cycle in the maramataka, a time for rest, reflection and new beginnings.
