Experience the breathtaking impact of a large-scale contemporary Pacific textile artwork, masterfully handcrafted by acclaimed Aotearoa New Zealand artist Serene Hodgman. These statement pieces, measuring an impressive 65cm x 65cm, are individually created through an intimate consultation process, offering an extraordinary opportunity to own a significant work of contemporary Pacific art.

Each commission begins with a personal design consultation with Serene, where you'll explore an extensive range of botanical and cultural elements drawn from her diverse Pacific heritage. These carefully chosen motifs - which may include traditional symbols, botanical elements, and patterns from various Pacific Island cultures - are thoughtfully incorporated into your unique design, creating a powerful narrative of connection, heritage, and place.

The large-scale format allows for greater complexity and detail, showcasing the full breadth of Serene's artistic mastery. Your piece can incorporate multiple layers of design elements, from intricate botanical work to sophisticated pattern compositions, all enhanced by a range of background mats, border treatments, and complementary ribbon work. This expanded canvas provides space for more elaborate storytelling through design, resulting in a truly commanding presence in any space.

Drawing inspiration from the rich traditions of Samoan 'ie toga, Cook Island tivaevae, and Tongan koloa, Serene's work represents the pinnacle of contemporary Pacific textile art. Her pieces, found in prestigious collections including the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and Auckland Museum, showcase an exceptional fusion of traditional crafting techniques with contemporary artistic expression.
