Artist: Wayne Youle
Title: I am what you make me
Year: 2009
Media: Paper bags










In this art piece Maori artist Wayne Youle has made a art piece of two piles of paper bags labelled maori and Pakeha, with only holes where eyes can be seen when worn. Because of facial features, eyes and skin colour can be seen as what culture people may be.

In this art piece I think the artist may tell the the viewers that appearances may differ whether you are brought up from a different way based on culture. I think this would be my favourite art piece so far mainly because of how all you see are the eyes on a person and label of what culture you are. I think the message to this art piece is that even when you wear the paper bag you may look the same but you are different based on who you are and where you are from.
