Talk about "Horror Vacui"! In your work I see parallels to the curvilinear, spiraling intricateness of Maori panels, and in the geometric repetition of Tiki's likeness in Marquesan patterns: As Paul Gauguin remarked about the Marquesan artifacts he saw after relocating there from Tahiti: “The basis of this art is the human body or face. The face especially. You’re astonished to find a face where you thought there was a strange geometrical figure. Always the same thing and yet never the same thing.”< (from "Tiki Modern" ) [ Edited by: bigbrotiki 2008-01-16 13:27 ]
