Her current practise investigates the origins of and concepts of “pattern”. This woven panel is a variation of a Maori design called Kaokao.

It is sometimes seen to represent the sides and arms of warriors as if caught in haka action. Buick has been exhibiting and selling her work since 2001, her work is in collections nationwide and as far away as Dubai, Israel, Hawaii, Tahiti and UK.  She also was a Finalist, National Contemporary Art Awards 2013.
