The marae mattress room is the creative inspiration behind the latest work of Tūwharetoa artist Tyrone Te Waa.
Te Waa said the mattress room on his marae is where many of his best childhood memories were formed — and that space now anchors his work on show in Dreaming from Afar, an exhibition in Auckland.
The exhibition features artists exploring traditional spaces that shape enduring connections to culture.
