HINE RAUMATI 2022
Too Hot, Ageless, SUN lover
Acrylic on ply box painted for the Here and Out Exhibition at Toi Poineke WGTN - Sold
Hine Raumati is the Atua of Summer and one of two wives to Tamanuiterā, the Sun. Each year the lucky bugger spends six months with his summer lover and six months with his winter kuīni, Hine Takarua. The arrangement seems to work for them as it hasn't changed since the begining of time. What has changed though is Hine Raumati gets hotter and hotter by the year...which for some reason is not of huge concern to many? It is to me.
