When there is not one INKLING of Polynesian style, pop or not, to be found in an artwork, what would make it Tiki? Please answer that question. O.K., at this point, I think that I'll have to admit that I'm obviously not "getting it" on this particular subject. As such, I don't have a clue as to how to answer your question. But I'll keep reading the thread and, if it looks like anything is getting clearer for me, will chime in again. Perplexed (but still interested).
