Wai Ching Chan

WAI CHING CHAN uses Chinese knots as her language to express the need to reconstruct and reinforce the connections and unity that exists between tauiwi and tangata whenua in Aotearoa. The knots come together like the lyrics to a song and together they make up a bridge that lead us to something important.
