This is a plant that I have come to love over the past 20 years. I grew it in the West in the rainforest just below Taranaki maunga, where the weather was wet and cold often in winter.
Connection.
Connection to our inner and outer landscapes.

Harakeke reminds me of my mother’s hands; each line, embedded with stories. She is the resilient nurturer who stands in all weather.
