Through her art practice, Nikau Hindin revives the Maori artform of barkcloth making. The material process produces a soft, thick, slightly textured fabric, so named because it has a rough surface like that of tree bark. Hindin practices this artform according to its traditional logic, while inscribing it into broader contemporary art discourses. Hindin produces all of the technological aspects in her barkcloth making process; from the cultivation of the plants, extraction of the cloth, fabrication of her wooden tools, production of her pigments, and the final painting of the work.
