520 _a"Paki Harrison is widely regarded as New Zealand's greatest living master carver, a man with a huge reputation as a leading tohunga of the art form. He possesses immense knowledge about the traditional arts of the carver, extending way beyond the actual physical arts to include its most ancient aspects - the symbolism contained in Māori art, to its role in transmitting old tribal history. Few know more about the symbolism of the waka taua (war canoe), whare whakairo (carved meeting houses) and kōwhaiwhai patterns. Harrison is responsible for carving 10 of the most important new North Island meeting houses in recent years, in particular the outstanding house at the University of Auckland marae. He has also taught and written extensively on the art of the tohunga whakairo. This major biography by Ranginui Walker, himself a well-known public figure, traces Paki Harrison's life and work, from his privileged upbringing in the Ngāti Porou household of his grandmother, where he was singled out for special training. The carving and building of several big meeting houses is described in detail, from the inside."--Publisher.
