I lose energy trying to classify it so I end up trying to focus into the culture and into that which motivates one to create. The origins of the moko and the use of the "koru" motif fascinate me. It's interesting that you are working on a stencil as I am working on something similar but the end result is a relief made of gatorboard. I'll post pics as things progress.
