VV: Ono Tea Towel

Ono is six in Fijian, and the district of Kadavu, Fiji that artist-curator and Vunilagi Vou founder, Vasemaca Tavola hails from.

This tea towel depicts a symbolic story at the juncture of Vunilagi Vou’s 6th anniversary. It pays 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.”

A lovely 100% cotton domestic textile suitable for drying dishes or hanging on a wall.

Printed and designed in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa New Zealand.
