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.

Fun moving pet toy, but definitely better for dogs
I don’t have a dog, but I do have a cat that loves chasing and batting around balls. I hoped this moving ball would keep her occupied while my girlfriend and I were working, but unfortunately, she wasn’t especially interested. She chased it briefly and touched it a few times, but this is clearly designed more for dogs than cats. The ball itself works as advertised. It moves unpredictably, vibrates, and has different modes designed to restart when a pet interacts with it. The outer sleeve feels durable, and for under $14, the overall construction is better than I expected. My biggest complaint is the charging process. You have to remove the internal ball from the protective cover, unscrew it, deal with the lubricant inside, and then access the charging port. It works, but I wish there were an exterior charging connection that didn’t require taking the toy apart. My cat’s lack of interest isn’t really the product’s fault, so I’m only deducting one star for the awkward charging design. For a dog that loves balls, chasing, or fetch, this could be a fun and inexpensive way to provide extra activity and stimulation.

Unfortunately another toy...
That doesn't stand up to the kind of dogs that need an interactive toy the most. Dog toy companies are missing the mark. Dogs that need the most entertainment are like our rescue boy in the video. Super smart, active, super chewers. They are the dogs that are abandoned, abused, and put to sleep the most. Why because they can destroy anything when board. The video and pictures say it all. I truly wish I could give less than a star. Value for the money 🤣😮‍💨😢

My dogs loved it, but it doesn't hold up.
My dogs absolutely love this ball! The moment I took it out of the package, they were already trying to play with it. The vibration is strong, and on hardwood floors it moves around fairly well. It keeps the dogs interested and does a good job of rolling around. The blue outer ring is made of a mildly tacky, hard rubber. Within about 30 seconds of rolling around, it had already picked up pet hair and lint from the floor. That said, the rubber feels fairly durable. I have some heavy chewers, so I'll update my review later to let everyone know how well it holds up over time. The charging process is a little unusual and somewhat concerning. To charge the ball, you have to remove it from the rubber shell, unscrew it, and pull out the motor assembly. While doing this, I got some kind of grease on my hand, so I would recommend being careful not to fully remove the motor when charging. It does use a USB-C charging port, and a small charging cable is included. Overall, my dogs are having a great time with it so far. I'll update this review if anything changes or if the ball doesn't hold up long-term. UPDATE: It is 2 days later, the rubber net around the ball has lost a lot of it's rigidity and no longer holds the inner ball in place. My dogs are able to easily remove the inner ball, which is hard and small enough for them to swallow. This toy has been taken away as much as they have loved it, as it's now a choking hazard. As a result, my rating has gone from 4 stars to 2.

Highly Entertaining Toy That Keeps Dogs Thrilled, But Smart Pups Can Disassemble It
This interactive ball is an absolute hit with my dogs, and watching them play with it has been incredibly entertaining. Right out of the box, the internal mechanism charged up very fast, so we were able to start a play session almost immediately. It blinks blue when charging and solid green when charged. The unpredictable moving and bouncing motions caught my dogs' attention right away, and they love chasing it around the room. My only critique is that it didn't take them very long to figure out how to pop the inner motorized ball completely out of the outer cage. Luckily, the materials are genuinely durable; even though they separated the pieces, they haven't destroyed or damaged either part yet. It's great fun to watch, but you'll definitely want to keep an eye on smart pups who figure out how to open it up.

Really cool cat toy for even the most picky cat!
Color: A1-Red, Color: A1-Red
I love it, wow. Our cat is picky with toys, but even he was intrigued by it. It really kept his attention, which is hard to do. It comes with three modes: fast, slow, and interactive. The only thing is that hair can get all trapped up in it because it's a wheel, so keep your house clean I guess lol. The tail also came off once, so you gotta snuggly get it on up there. Really cool cat toy though, I'm happy I got it lol
