18. koru design
Some sources say that the curving stalk
with its bulb shape resembles the koru
fern.
The koru may also resemble a curling
wave as it crashes against the seashore.

19. The koru shape as an art form/motif/shape has been used by Maori artists for many
generations. It is the most common design element found in kowhaiwhai patterns.
Kowhaiwhai paintings decorate the ceilings of ancestral houses (whare whakairo) or
the walls and ceilings of whare kai (dining halls).

20. Gordon Walters
Gordon Walters, Tamaki 1983 Screen print
Gordon Walters investigated the use of the koru motif in his art work. He was interested in the repetition
of the koru motif in Maori art and changed the motif from a curvilinear form to a strictly geometric shape.
Walters has focused on black and white koru with
• Straight lines
• A rounded bulb shape.

21. Sandy Adsett
Awhiowhio - Whirlwind Kahurangi, Te Papa Store
Acrylic on hardboard
Sandy Adsett has explored koru motifs in his art work.
He appreciated their simplicity and freedom to ‘push the patterns to their limits’.
From his red, black and white palette Adsett explored other colour arrangements.
Notice how he placed the koru motifs in grid boxes and repeated reversed and rotated them.
