te kupenga

I couldn't be bothered picking up the camera today so here's another shot from our visit to the Te Kupenga carving symposium yesterday.
Progress is definitely being made and we'll try for another visit before it's all over.
For those that are interested "Te Kupenga" loosely translates to "safe net" and in terms of the Carving Symposium is used descriptively to imply the capturing of peoples imagination and engagement. So there you go, you've learned something today and can now sleep soundly tonight.
You're welcome.

Oh wow, amazing to see such interesting creations coming out of blocks of rock.

Great shot of men at work. They look like they’re from the same tribe as you ;-)

You manage to make the picture as gritty as the stone work itself - nicely done

Amazing, creative stuff going on there.
