In the 1980s, Warwick Freeman (b. 1953) co-revolutionised the world of New Zealand jewellery, which led to the creation of a unique artistic language. Today, he is regarded as one of the world's most influential contemporary jewelry artists.

His works tell of his life as a Pkeh

as the Mori call descendants with European roots

of his culture, and history, as well as the history of Aotearoa New Zealand and the country's unique materials: the millimetre-thick mother-of-pearl of the pearl oyster, the iridescent inner membrane of the pua (a rainbow abalone), and the pounamu (a type of greenstone). He works with found objects in which he recognises a 'sign from the past', a kind of

archetype, something familiar, and discovers forms, symbols, and images that connect Mori, Polynesian, and European civilisations through emblematic meanings that transcend their cultures. As such, Freeman has long been a mediator between the cultures.
