Pa Ke Ha Ke by Weston Frizzell

Screenprint

Paper size in millimetres: 610 x 390
Edition of 180, individually signed, titled and numbered by Otis Frizzell and Mike Weston.

The title is a play on words - in Maori Pakeha Ke translates as "Pakeha Screams" or "Pake Hake" - "Torn Flag". This limited edition original print by Mike Weston and Otis Frizzell commemorates Tame Iti's notorious shooting of the New Zealand flag before the Waitangi Tribunal in 2005. It is a new version of the New Zealand ensign - complete with bullet holes in place of the more tradtional stars. "I fully support the redesign of the flag," says Otis Frizzell "Whether it was right or wrong [Iti] was redesigning it in his own special way."
