I know that my art renderings are bordering on disrespect for the ancient and present traditions and I try very hard not to make light of these things. Just the thought of my getting a tat of one of my carvings doesn't seem quite right because it is Maori inspired. I'm sure no one meant any disrespect. Thanks for reminding us that we really need to take care when we are dealing with strong traditions.
