Out of luck today, the result of our general election didn’t go the way I wanted. I usually stay up all night to watch the results, but as soon as I heard what the exit pole said I decided to give it a miss. No last night I went to bed about 1am, which is actually early for me. I would have gone earlier, but I was watching a couple of documentaries about Maori art and they were far more enjoyable than election results. I think I knew it was going to be bad when I saw the results would be on Friday the Thirteenth.
I look forward to more austerity and homelessness, worse health care, the sale of the NHS, more crime. But I’m not bitter, just sad.

I was born in New Zealand and learned a lot about Maori Art. I have also learned about Aboriginal Art . I am very intrigued with it , each little mark or dot has a meaning.
I like the picture of your bird, very life like xx

Thanks for that. Yes I don’t know much about Maori or aboriginal art so it was interesting. One thing they showed by a contemporary artist was some sort of film/animation with actors showing the history of Captain Cooke on his voyages. It was a beautiful art work, like moving wallpaper? Hard to describe…

In my career as a Registered Nurse in New Zealand and Australia I had cultural training which included learning about their art and spiritual beliefs. Behind every piece of art is a story, the picture is created with purpose, passion and love.
