Reuben Patterson
Enlightened by Kowhaiwhai
Enlightened by Kowhaiwhai introduces students to Reuben’s work – visual feasts of glitter, texture and colour. Students will grow to appreciate Reuben’s love of pattern, light and landscape, and delve the secrets of kowhaiwhai shapes and symbolism.
"Through art we honour the place of emotion and thought, and connect to each other and the world on a deeper level. I acknowledge the foresight and vision of Interactive Education for their tautoko and the inspiration for this book. I hope you all enjoy it and are inspired to discover and create for yourselves."
"Kaua maa to waewae tuutuki
Engari maa te uupoko pakaru
(Perservere with determination
Don't be put off by small obsticles)
E tika hoki ma." Reuben Patterson
