Abstract
As a Māori observational science Te Maramataka is a vast ‘knowledge-scape’ that has been accumulated over many generations. While one could spend a lifetime learning about it you may never fully come to know all of it. However, for the purpose of this Master’s work I will focus on Te Maramataka and its general observation of life cycles, in particular the life cycles of wai (water) within the context of human life. This exhibition will have a ‘curiosity’ and visual inquiry into the root word wā embedded in the word wai, referencing time and space and our individual place within the ongoing evolution of the human race on this planet.
