Crocheting has given us a visual language which has in turn given us the gift of understanding our kaupapa - joy!
Through crocheting, we have come to understand the symbology of connecting loops and how this relates to the complex relationships we have with ourselves, with others and our relationship to the past, present, and future. Crochet is a portal of joy in which we invite others to enter. Together, our energies draw from our deep connection to our tūpuna and like a river, our creative process embraces and takes us naturally in its current. We see ourselves like a prism in which the aroha of our tūpuna shines through us and is expressed in our own unique ways like the spectrum of the rainbow. As their aroha radiates through us, it is reflected back to us by the light and aroha of our communities. Our crochet art is an explosion of joy and celebration of life in full living colour.
