The good news is that the Council has finally started to pay attention.

When Joseph and his family came here from Tonga ten years ago, he first worked in kiwifruit orchards, pruning, harvesting and so on. But happy he was not.

But happy he was not. He wanted to use his artistic talent and started carving – bone and wood. “Mine is pacific art”, says Siosefu as his name is spelt in Tongan. He amalgamates Tongan and Maori themes like “a Tongan fish hook but mixed with a manaia design.” Or he inserts pieces of paua shell into a Polynesian style fish hook. Joseph/Siusefu is working hard to constantly increasing the quality of his work. “I think my talent is growing … my work is better [than] before.” And if things work out, he will open his own shop and gallery one day in this town. But for now he is still at Thames Market with his beautiful carvings.
