TOI PŪREHE KINGS

Māori Art · Tāmoko · Cultural Design · Future Digital Practice

Toi Pūrehe Kings is a Māori creative practice grounded in whakairo, tāmoko, restoration, and cultural design authority. My work bridges ancestral knowledge with contemporary expression — from physical carving and skin, through to design advisory and future digital pathways.

Tāmoko

  • Tāmoko by consultation
  • Kaupapa-led process
  • Design grounded in meaning, not trends
  • By appointment only

This is not a transactional service — it is a relational and respectful journey.

Whakairo / Carving

  • Commissioned carving, restoration, and public works
  • Pou, wāharoa, and sculptural forms
  • Restoration of taonga and cultural structures
  • Projects for kura, marae, councils, and community spaces

Each carving is approached with tikanga, integrity, and respect for place and people.
