Whitespace is delighted to present Le Tumau; a comic book project by Andy Leleisi'uao.  The story unfolds around a central character Vetu Fasi and takes us on a journey through a parallel Polynesia. The playful narrative is accompanied by Andy's powerful and beautifully rendered drawings.

Le Tumau will be available free to download after the exhibition- for details contact Whitespace.

"Andy's prescient talent for seeing who we are, what we are like and what we do is a signature of his art." (Ron Brownson)
