His works tell of his life, culture, and history, as well as the history of Aotearoa New Zealand and the countrys unique materialsfrom millimeterthick mother-of-pearl from the pearl shell to the iridescent inner membrane of the paua (a rainbow abalone). In the 1980s Freeman co-revolutionized the world of New Zealand jewelry, which led to the creation of a unique artistic language. Initially influenced by western jewelry traditions, and later impacted by a growing awareness of Maori and Pacific adornment practices, Freeman has built a language of emblematic forms across five decades. Through jewelry making he discovers symbols that connect usfrom Hook to Hand to Heart to Star.
