  • Cloth Without Weaving: Beaten Barkcloth of the Pacific Islands, November 1, 2000-February 18, 2001
    Cloth Without Weaving: Beaten Barkcloth of the Pacific Islands, November 1, 2000-February 18, 2001 Unlike most textiles, which are made of interworked yarns, beaten barkcloth is made of strips of the inner bark of trees such as the paper mulberry, breadfruit, or fig, pounded together into a smooth and supple fabric. It is an ancient craft, practiced in southern China and mainland Southeast Asia over 5,000 years ago. From there, the skill spread to eastern Indonesia and the Pacific Islands. While the technique is also known in South America and Africa, it is most closely associated with the islands of Polynesia. In Polynesia, the making of beaten barkcloth, or tapa, as it is commonly known, is primarily women's work. The technique is essentially the same throughout the Pacific Islands, with many local variations. Bark is stripped from the tree, and the inner bark separated from the outer. The inner bark is then pounded with wooden beaters to spread the fibers into a thin sheet. Large pieces of tapa can be made by overlapping and pounding together several smaller sheets. Women decorate the cloth in many ways, and techniques are often combined. Mallets carved or inlaid with metal or shell designs may impart a subtle texture to the surface. Color may be applied with stamps, stencils, freehand painting, or by rubbing dye into the tapa over a patterned board. Glazes may be brushed onto the finished cloth. Each tapa-producing culture has its own vocabulary of recognized decorative motifs. Many pattern names are drawn from the natural world, and the motifs appear as highly stylized images of local flora and fauna or simple geometric shapes.

  • Paper Mulberry

Paper mulberry has a well-documented history as a significant pest overseas, especially in Pakistan, Uganda, Ghana and Argentina. Extensive naturalised populations exist in the eastern United States, parts of Asia, Europe, Africa, North and South America, and across the Pacific Currently, paper mulberry is sparingly naturalised in Queensland. Populations have been detected in Brisbane and coastal northern Queensland. Based on the evidence presented in this study, it seems reasonable to predict that paper mulberry could develop into a significant problem in subtropical coastal and subcoastal areas of Queensland. Within these areas, habitats most at risk are predicted to include riparian areas; semi-deciduous vine thickets/dry rainforest; closed forest margins/gaps; and disturbed, open sites, generally where there is relatively well-drained, fertile soil. In these habitats, paper mulberry could form dense thickets, perhaps replacing native vegetation and interfering with natural succession. If planted on grazing land, these thickets could replace pasture grasses. It is not expected to impact crops. Its pollen can cause significant allergy problems.

  • Patterns in the Art of Samoan Siapo
    The art of Samoan Siapo By Paul Tauiliili EDCS 606 with Dr. Don Rubinstein Dr. Sandy Dawson Dr. Neil Pateman Dr. Joe Zilliox Source: (Neich & Pendagrast 1997) 1 Table of Contents Introduction: Cultural Significance 3 Methodology How did you conduct your research 7 Interview questions used 9 Difficulties encountered 10 Is research complete 10 Description What is siapo? 11 How is siapo designed 16 SIAPO ELEI 16 Elei process 18 Identifying imprints and patterns 20 Sequences of Imprints 23 Imprints used as standard of measurement Length and width 25 Surface area 27 Congruency 28 Balance defined 30 SIAPO MAMANU 31 Mamanu process 32 Mamanu or motifs 34 Symmetry classifications 36 Horizontal and vertical symmetry 37 Translations 41 180 degree rotation 44 Conclusion 45 References 46 2 Introduction This paper is focused on describing the rich art of siapo making in Samoa and the mathematical concepts derived from its designs and production. It begins with a historical look at siapo in the Samoan culture and the methods used to conduct this research. It is followed by a detailed description of how Samoan siapo is processed from raw bark to finished work of art and the differences between two distinct types of Samoan siapo: a) siapo elei and b) siapo mamanu. And finally it focuses on exploring the mathematics involved in the art of Samoan siapo. Cultural Significance Siapo is a Samoan word for tapa or bark cloth that has been painted or imprinted with various design motifs. Although Samoan siapo can be distinctly recognized as a pure art form that flourishes in Samoa its origins can be traced to eastern Asia (Neich & Pendagrast, 1997).

  • Polyvocal Tongan Barkcloths: Contemporary Ngatu and Nomenclature at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa
    Tuhinga 24: 85–104 Copyright © Te Papa Museum of New Zealand (2013) Polyvocal Tongan barkcloths: contemporary ngatu and nomenclature at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa Billie Lythberg Mira Szászy Research Centre for Mäori and Pacific Economic Development, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand ([email protected]) ABSTRACT: The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (Te Papa) collects and exhibits Tongan barkcloth (ngatu) to illustrate curatorial narratives about Pacific peoples in New Zealand. I discuss the materiality and provenances of five ngatu at Te Papa, their trajectories into the museum’s Pacific Cultures collection and, where relevant, how they have been exhibited. I consider the role of Tongan curators and communities in determining how, when and which ngatu will enter the collection, and how Tongan identity will be imaged by the objects. The paper concludes with a close examination of contemporary descriptive and evaluative nomenclature for ngatu made with synthetic materials, including examples at Te Papa. KEYWORDS: Te Papa, Pacific Cultures collection, ngatu, barkcloths, Tonga, New Zealand, nomenclature.

  • The “African Print” Hoax: Machine Produced Textiles Jeopardize African Print Authenticity
    The “African Print” Hoax: Machine Produced Textiles Jeopardize African Print Authenticity by Tunde M. Akinwumi Department of Home Science University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria Abstract The paper investigated the nature of machine-produced fabric commercially termed African prints by focusing on a select sample of these prints. It established that the general design characteristics of this print are an amalgam of mainly Javanese, Indian, Chinese, Arab and European artistic tradition. In view of this, it proposed that the prints should reflect certain aspects of Africanness (Africanity) in their design characteristics. It also explores the desirability and choice of certain design characteristics discovered in a wide range of African textile traditions from Africa south of the Sahara and their application with possible design concepts which could be generated from Macquet’s (1992) analysis of Africanity. This thus provides a model and suggestion for new African prints which might be found acceptable for use in Africa and use as a veritable export product from Africa in the future. In the commercial parlance, African print is a general term employed by the European textile firms in Africa to identify fabrics which are machine-printed using wax resins and dyes in order to achieve batik effect on both sides of the cloth, and a term for those imitating or achieving a resemblance of the wax type effects. They bear names such as abada, Ankara, Real English Wax, Veritable Java Print, Guaranteed Dutch Java Hollandis, Uniwax, ukpo and chitenge. Using the term ‘African Print’ for all the brand names mentioned above is only acceptable to its producers and marketers, but to a critical mind, the term is a misnomer and therefore suspicious because its origin and most of its design characteristics are not African.

  • A Tale of Two Tapa: Their History, Legend and Celebrity Ownership by Robert Louis Stevenson
    A TALE OF TWO TAPA: THEIR HISTORY, LEGEND AND CELEBRITY OWNERSHIP BY ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON ROGER G. SWEARINGEN Santa Rosa, California This article describes briefly and traces the 20th-century history of two tapa acquired by the Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-94) during his residence in Samoa from late 1889 until his death there on 3 December 1894. Neither has been known previously to scholars of Polynesian material culture, chiefly because the tapa have been valued for their associations with the famous author, not for their interest as artefacts of 19th-century Polynesia. As a result, they were collected and have been preserved and displayed by institutions with no special links to anthropology or the display of cultural artefacts: the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University, and Monterey State Historic Park, California. In addition, legends have developed about both tapa, telling how Stevenson himself got them and what their history has been since then.
