The hand water-coloured woodcut print, titled Aio Tabera has been developed to raise funds for a new documentary film about Robin's life and work within a Pacific context. Produced and directed by esteemed filmmaker Dame Gaylene Preston, the documentary travels around Aotearoa and the Pacific observing Robin and her collaborators engaged in making ngatu and masi artworks – from planting the tree, gathering the bark, preparing pigments, to painting these beautiful, monumental works.)
The title Aio Tabera translates loosely from I–Kiribati as:
This is us being busy
This is what we need to do
This is what we are doing
The edition is limited to ten only and Two Rooms has four of these beautiful prints available priced at NZD 7,000 and all proceeds will go to the production of the film.
