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.

delightful read
Format: Kindle
What a delightful read. The characters are awesome, the plot was so good, I loved it. I was intrigued and it kept me wanting more. Told in multiple pov, the book sucks you in and doesn’t let go. I cannot wait to read the next book.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.
