Even unto the Isles of the Sea 
Fanga Tukuafu Tapa and paint, 1991 
The scene is a native Tongan village with palm trees. Two missionaries in native dress are greeting a man also in native dress carrying something on his shoulders. The use of tapa cloth in this picture reinforces the indigenous sources that were used to create this image. It is a creative application of an old regional arts and crafts form. |
