In the Māori world, an artist traditionally guides a work of art into being, whether a carving, painting, poem or novel. Artists draw on the energies of te whaitua, active space - ancient, mysterious forces to which they have access. The work of art is viewed with reverence. It has its own mauri - its own distinctive, defining qualities.
