Makoure Scott: Twenty-First Century Works

Makoure Scott is a young New Zealand artist who is rapidly establishing an international reputation. This, his first book, presents a selection of his work today, featuring in particular his Synapse series, in which primary geometric forms "synapse" in various crossroads, intersections, and parallels mirroring the tension and fusion of nature and spirit. Using strong geometric forms Arohanui attempts to capture the principles of the Maori spiritual term arohanui, its intersection with colonial beliefs, and the resulting tension. Dream Waka presents a series of textural winter northalnd landscapes, attempting to capture the various cultural parallels of Maori and Pekeha influences. The accompanying text is written by critics from all over the world, in seven languages, in this beautifully produced limited edition.Makoure Scott is the author of 'Makoure Scott: Twenty-First Century Works', published 2008 under ISBN 9781903470329 and ISBN 1903470323.
