The Tivaevae Manu Series
This 3 piece series is an extension of the Tivaivai series - sharing the same concept of recreating ideas that I took from my college education. using the art of Cookisland Tivaevae quilting as inspiration. However through some research I discovered that there were slight variations within this art practice. The Tivaevae manu style is heavily based around large floral motifs instead of smaller patches that complete individual quilts. With that in mind, I decided to explore a loose and organic approach to the series. Incorporating floral shapes and patterns in bright, vibrant colours to pay respects to the original feel of the Tivaevae Manu style of quilting.
