More Research on Filipe Tohi, Haupapa and Lalava

- Tongan structural art developed and derived from Lalava (Tongan lashing). the Terms derive from metal and wooden structures created from Lalava designs laid out flat on a surface, then re-constructed following a pattern or design that would otherwise be wound around a beam or a strut on a building (either binding or joining that part) and in doing so create a distinctive pattern.

- Filipe Tohi was given recognition for his skills and work as a Tufunga Lalava by giving him a Samoan Matai title, 'Sopolemalama.' His work and skills has been remaining a leading exponent of his generation.

- He developed a structural expressions in wood and steel that gives recognition to Lalava and the natural beauty of its design and form, elevating it in the minds of Polynesian artist in such an innovative way  as to secure its continued life in our cultures.

- Lashing is known to many cultures, but it was very unique and highly developed in Polynesia

- The line-space intersection of lalava produces elaborate and complex geometric designs of an abstract nature. Within the abstract designs lalava holds important implications on the social, philosophical, astrological, navigational and many more. By deciphering the existing designs, Filipe unlocks visual histories recorded by Tonga's earlier Tufunga Lalava.

- His sculptures reflects a pan-Polynesian aesthetic that he sees as a means of fostering understanding between cultures.

- He works with a wide variety of media from wood, stone, and wool to industrial materials such as steel and perspex. Tohi uses natural media to represent the past and steel as a contemporary component: "For me, stainless steel represents the shiny new structures in the modern world. Wood is based more in tradition - in the natural things from our environment."

Filipe Tohi, Haupapa

Filipe Tohi, Haupapa (installation view), 2017, wood, glue

Sopolemalama Filipe Tohi is a Tongan Artist who has lived in New Zealand since 1978.

His work is based upon the ancient pacific island of art form of Lalava (lashing) that was used for joining and binding materials together.

Haupapa is the term used by Tohi to describe his work base on Lalava created in wood. Haupapa is based upon the patterns of Haukafa (haukafa is the name of Tongan traditional building methods) but brings lashing into large scale, three dimensional sculptural forms.

Tohi wants to provide the public with a mean to interact with patterns and encourages these to be viewed from different position, to see all the possible angles.

Lavala are sennit (coconut fibre) lashings used in canoe and house construction, that in their design, communicate knowledge and history.

Lalava patterns advocated balance in daily living and were metaphorical and physical ties to cultural knowledge.

Filipe Tohi is interested in Lalava patterns and stories they tell. Instead of coconut, he uses wood and wool.

Te Papa Description:

“For me, the sennit patterns of the pacific convey our memories and experience as well as carry us from place to place.”

With this work Filipe Tohi reverses, rotates and unravels customary Lalava patterns, emphasising their infinite possibilities.

Lalava were once used as structural bindings for canoes and the bears of fale (house). They were made of sennit (coconut fibre), layered to make abstract patterns that recorded and communicated cultural knowledge and history.

Tohi extends these patterns into new forms using haukulasi (wood-based Lalava) and Haupapa (Lalava patterns created in wood).

New location: Jack Ilott Green, 88-94 Jervois Quay, Wellington, 6011

I decided to change the location for my container exhibition because I have taken into account the comment I received of my previous location; that there’s a pub behind the container.

Why this location?

Because I wanted a location that is a green space and a place that there will be sunlight to create the fish looking shadow that the Haupapa makes. And also, a place where will see my exhibition.
