Southland weaver has first exhibition at Mīharo in Invercargill

Solomon isn’t entirely sure where all her creations are these days. There are panels in different marae throughout Murihiku, at Anderson Park, the Te Hikoi Museum in Riverton and at schools. And then there are the pieces she’s given to students as teaching aids, and the pieces she sold from the family s old shop in Queenstown. “Half of the time I don’t know where they are until I walk into a room,” she said. Solomon (Ngā Pūmanawa e Waru, Ngāti Rongomai) had learned weaving as a child, but fell in love with the craft during a visit to the Whaiora Marae in Ōtara.
