A recurring theme of my mahi toi practice is decolonisation and indigenisation. My focus is currently on decolonisation as I wish to encourage everyone to participate in decolonising the planet. This is a mana enhancing process to create a better Aotearoa through mahi toi. Whereas colonisation creates a bitter Aotearoa . Repurposing colonial tools such as filing cabinets and Christianity to decolonise Aotearoa and pay respect to the Māori prophets.
