Lissy and Rudi Hi Viz Vest, 2024
"Through crochet we have come to understand the symbolism of connecting 'loops' and how the loops reflect the complex relationships we have with ourselves and others, and to the past, present and future." - Lissy Robinson-Cole.
"Mind that Maori" has appeared as a highly visible catch cry in their mahi since at least 2020 and here responds in a deep way to Kiingi Tuheitia call to action, suggesting that Maori should "be who we are, live our values, speak our reo, care for our mokopuna, our awa, our maunga, just be Maori. Maori all day, every day."
