Artist statement:
"My name is Nikkita Koia, I am a kaiako in Ōtautahi/ Christchurch, māmā of three beautiful tamariki and I help my husband with our family owned barber shop also.
I started this wee business only nine months ago whilst on maternity leave with our youngest - Te Atarangi. It was a way for me to have something for myself. Adjusting to being a stay at home Māmā from working full-time was a big shift for me. I totally love being home with my tamariki, but I felt like something was missing - and that's when I started to make a business from what was just a hobby.
I love the whole process of creating this beautiful product.
"He waka eke noa - we are all in this together"
