Patterns rooted in Niuean barkcloth

Hiapo, the barkcloth of Niue, is made from the ata, or mulberry tree, and used at important occasions including hair-cutting ceremonies. Its designs draw on the natural environment and Niuean culture. Cora-Allan Wickliffe documents these patterns and motifs, bringing the book’s attention to both the visual language of hiapo and its place in cultural practice. The collection also serves as a record intended to help pass this artform on to new generations.
