Tiki Lineup

Tiki Lineup depicts 7 different Polynesian tiki statues in a row, set on a traditional patterned background. The tikis range in shapes and sizes, and are modeled after traditional tiki statues from the Māori and native Hawaiian peoples. The statues themselves are stylized to mimic traditional black and white line work, with heavy contrast and mark making. The background is more abstract with lots of geometric patterns that are inspired by indigenous Polynesian textiles and tattoos. While the tikis remain static, the background is meant to really emphasize movement and flow throughout the piece. The bright red color makes a bold first impression that’s meant to really set the background apart from the foreground.
