This beautiful 3D-printed Pekapeka pendant is made by Kereama Taepa - Te Arawa, Te Āti Awa.
The Pekapeka is a very old carved form representing the native New Zealand bat. The Pekapeka design is commonly accepted to symbolise spiritual protection and guardianship with its two heads representing balance.
Kereama is a multidisciplinary artist, currently based in Papamoa, Bay of Plenty. Kereama has a Master of Māori Visual Arts from Toioho ki Āpiti, Massey University.
His work explores themes of digital culture and its impact on Māori culture - and how Māori can use technology to further serve the generations of the future. His work utilizes emergent technologies such as projection, 3D printing, augmented reality and virtual reality to tell narratives of the past and the present.
Kereama has exhibited and sold his work both locally and internationally and his work can be found in collections abroad and locally including the Auckland War Memorial Museum. He is the recipient of several art awards and commissioned public works can be found in Tauranga, New Plymouth, Kapiti Coast, and Wellington.
The Museum will reopen on Tuesday 3 June - Find out more.
