About the Artwork

These are 10 colour hand stencilled limited edition screen prints produced specifically to commemorate my participation in the ‘Amui ‘i Mu‘a: Ancient Futures project. For the last five years, I have been part of a Marsden project, Ancient Futures: Late 18th and Early 19th Century Tongan Arts and Their Legacies, funded by the Royal Society of New Zealand. Our team has examined art objects of exchange and encounters between Europeans and Tongan islanders in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, now held in museum collections worldwide. We have visited more than 30 collections in the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, Sweden, Japan, Australia and Aotearoa.

‘Known for her dynamic prints and paintings that often draw from the kupesi on ngatu, Dyck has drawn new, significant inspiration from the garments worn by her ancestors. Dyck has continued her exploration of ngatu barkcloth motifs and closely woven kato alu and kato mosikaka baskets, as well as elaborately feathered sisi fale waist garments and kiekie (waist adornments), fala (mats), and helu (combs). Her works explicate these in woven, painted and stratified formats. With her skillfulness in printmaking, Dyck has created a series of limited edition screenprints intricately layered with historical and contemporary references.’

The titles for both prints reference a composition written by Her Majesty Late Queen Salote Tupou III, Mata Me'a Fo'oua - Seeing New Things. It was composed during her official visit to attend the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in the month of June 1953. The Queen after the Coronation visited other European Countries including Geneva, the capital of Switzerland. She was impressed with the beauty and vastness of the Great Geneva Lake. Mata Me'a Fo'oua - Seeing New Things eloquently describes the majestic landscapes of places that I have been fortunate to have travelled the last five years, yet gently reminds us Tongans that despite the geographical distances Tonga never leaves us.

True to size and great quality
Size: X-Large, Color: Colony Blue Melange
This shirt fits true to size. It is very soft and comfortable. The fabric is a thinner fabric that can be worn over dress shirts. The quality of the shirt seems to be very good. I have bought these pullovers in multiple colors, and they all seem to be consistent with the quality and size.

Received the wrong size
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy Melange
Seemed and looked like a decent quality shirt. A little lighter weight than I expected. I ordered an XL, but received a Large, which did not fit. Returned it and bought a similar shirt in a different brand.

Beautiful color
Size: Medium, Color: Red Melange
I loved the vibrant color of this shirt. The fabric is lightweight but not sun shirt/rash guard material. This will add a layer of warmth for seasons when the temperature fluctuates greatly during the course of the day. The sizing chart was accurate. My husband generally wears a medium but, based on the size chart, I bought him a large and it fit well.

ASICS Gel Running Shoes – Comfortable, Lightweight & Perfect for Gym and Running
Size: 10.5 X-Wide, Color: Black/White, Size: 10.5 X-Wide, Color: Black/White
I recently tried a pair of ASICS Gel sneakers, and I’m really impressed. They are extremely comfortable, with great cushioning that makes a big difference during workouts. I’ve used them both at the gym and for running, and they perform very well in both situations. The support is excellent, and they feel stable without being too heavy. I especially like how they absorb impact when running, which helps reduce stress on my feet and knees. They also have a nice fit and feel breathable, so my feet don’t get too hot. Overall, I’m very happy with them. If you’re looking for comfortable and reliable sneakers for the gym and running, I would definitely recommend ASICS Gel shoes.
