I know it's not tiki, but it also has a definite warmth and primitive characteristics that I am just drawn to. I have a huge collection of masks from Australia, Africa, the Phillipines, Bali, and Thiland. I also collect tribal weapons as well. I also am drawn to such art, although I think it does share certain parallels with tiki. For example, the masks have certain similar characteristics with the tiki masks, both in expression as well as style. If I ever decide to get my doctorate in tiki, my dissertation would be to explore the similarities in the art and culture of Eastern African cultures, Papa New Guinea and Tahiti/Marquesas.
