After researching Gordon Walters and Johnson Witehira, I began to develop a repetitive pattern based on a Koru idea. My Kowhaiwhai pattern is based on Ngaru, an idea of a canoe 'cutting through the waves' which creates ideas of progression, cutting-edge technology and forward-movement.
Immersing myself into this design process and understanding the traditional journeys that are being portrayed, helped me to create a contemporary pattern based on a modern journey of Maori progressing in the world.
My initial idea, before developing further.
