Mumu Moore is an artist from Te Whanganui a Tara. He whakapapa’s to Ngāi te Rangi in Tauranga Moana, and also has Scottish, English and French heritage. He works across many mediums including film, poetry, and painting, and also makes taonga pūoro and leads guided meditation. Reminiscent of indigenous mark making used in so many cultures to symbolise natural elements and their importance to our existence, Mumu uses lines as a way to visualise what he feels, intuits and sees in the landscapes that shape us. In the process of painting, he captures his journeys through his whenua, and the healing it brings to his psyche. In his paintings we see the ridgeline of a mountain, backlit by Rā. The damp line of seafoam where sand meets sea. Lines of light, dancing through the water. Trees dancing in the wind. Manu flying in silence through the sky. The winding paths and roads, that leads us onward through the landscape of our lives. In an increasingly disconnected society, how do we continue to turn to nature, and let it help us process our life experiences, and ground us in a sense of place and identity?
