The Well-Read Tikiphile-for BigBro(mostly) - General Tiki

Personally, I see it as being a well laid out exhibition revealing how original Pacific objects have inspired Western carvers and artists, who in turn have inspired a new generation of artists. It's not supposed to be a catch-all Tiki book, but demonstrates clearly how inspiration travels through the generations. Trader Woody
