This artwork is called Whakapapa: get down upon your knees and was completed in 2009 by Reuben Paterson from New Zealand. The materials used in this artwork are glitter and synthetic polymer paint on a canvas. My first reactions to the piece were “the colours and patterns are amazing” and “the symmetry is perfect”. The thing that I would probably love the most about this piece is the use of colours- I love colours and try to make everything colourful so this is why it would be one of my favourites! The symmetry is also really cool as each side is exactly like the other even down to a little sprinkle of glitter! Also, it would have taken a long time to make this as the size of the canvas is huge. Once again, I am not really sure what the meaning is but the way everything is placed and how everything flows reminds me almost of a song or of a sort of kaleidoscope.
