VV:Ono Tea Towel

A symbolic story at the juncture of Vunilagi Vou’s 6th anniversary, paying homage to totems and transformation, building and breaking, signs, surrender, literature and luck, moonlight and magic. Gratitude to the plants that have survived Vunilagi Vou’s transiency, the lessons of Covid-19, the gift of a sewing machine, yoga and meditation, and the love of a wild dog.

The tea is always hot, Ōtāhuhu forever, Southside til I die. Vunilagi Vou, established 2019.

After bringing all the plants from Vunilagi Vou back home when the country went into lockdown in March 2020.

The pylon symbol has echoed through much of Vunilagi Vou’s creative production, resonating from the first pylon painting made in 2006.
