About the Artwork

These are 10 colour hand stencilled limited edition screen prints produced specifically to commemorate my participation in the ‘Amui ‘i Mu‘a: Ancient Futures project. For the last five years, I have been part of a Marsden project, Ancient Futures: Late 18th and Early 19th Century Tongan Arts and Their Legacies, funded by the Royal Society of New Zealand. Our team has examined art objects of exchange and encounters between Europeans and Tongan islanders in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, now held in museum collections worldwide. We have visited more than 30 collections in the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, Sweden, Japan, Australia and Aotearoa.

‘Known for her dynamic prints and paintings that often draw from the kupesi on ngatu, Dyck has drawn new, significant inspiration from the garments worn by her ancestors. Dyck has continued her exploration of ngatu barkcloth motifs and closely woven kato alu and kato mosikaka baskets, as well as elaborately feathered sisi fale waist garments and kiekie (waist adornments), fala (mats), and helu (combs). Her works explicate these in woven, painted and stratified formats. With her skillfulness in printmaking, Dyck has created a series of limited edition screenprints intricately layered with historical and contemporary references.’

The titles for both prints reference a composition written by Her Majesty Late Queen Salote Tupou III, Mata Me'a Fo'oua - Seeing New Things. It was composed during her official visit to attend the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in the month of June 1953. The Queen after the Coronation visited other European Countries including Geneva, the capital of Switzerland. She was impressed with the beauty and vastness of the Great Geneva Lake. Mata Me'a Fo'oua - Seeing New Things eloquently describes the majestic landscapes of places that I have been fortunate to have travelled the last five years, yet gently reminds us Tongans that despite the geographical distances Tonga never leaves us.

Perfect fit and great protection!
Color: Black, Size: 1
Just installed this SINGARO hitch cover on my truck and I'm really happy with it! The fit is absolutely perfect for my 2-inch receiver - slides in snugly with no wobbling or rattling while driving. The build quality feels solid and durable. The materials look like they'll hold up well against weather, road salt, and general wear and tear. Much better construction than the cheap plastic ones I've tried before that crack after a few months. Installation was super simple - literally just slide it in and secure. Takes about 10 seconds and gives your vehicle a much cleaner look from behind. No more exposed hitch receiver collecting dirt, debris, and moisture. What I really appreciate is how this keeps everything protected when I'm not towing. My old receiver was getting pretty rusty from being exposed to the elements, but this cover should prevent that problem going forward. The design looks clean and professional - not flashy but definitely an upgrade over having nothing there. For the price, it's a no-brainer accessory for any truck or SUV owner. If you've got a 2-inch hitch and want to protect it while improving your vehicle's appearance, this SINGARO cover does exactly what it's supposed to do. Simple, effective, and well-made!

Plug That Hole!
Color: Black, Size: 1
I have been very pleased with how well this cover is holding up. It fits snugly into the receiver hole and stays put. Makes the back of the car look so much better and keeps dirt out of the receiver. Good Job! PLUS: I don't have to store the plug in the back of the car any longer! Hinged piece is still nice and flexible.
