Squiggle1407 viewsI had fun with this one... started making a koru, then decided to put a few kinks in it.
It sort of springs up out of the ground. Haven't really thought of a name for it so its known affectionately as "Squiggle". I have done a series of squiggles in different sizes and kinks.
This one stands about a metre tall (plus base for stability)

Tui Sundial side 11418 viewsAround our place we have lots of tuis around in the spring when the Kowhai trees are flowering. I decided I couldn't do justice to Tuis if I tried to get them in proportion with a Kowhai tree so I decided on them squabbling over flax flowers instead.
(SOLD)

Tui birdbath5057 viewsWhen a friend saw my tui sundial she wanted a birdbath in a similar design... so I made her one. Initially it had a flax leaf design on the base like it has photographed here, but after further consideration I decided it looked better without a base, but with just the column and bowl. Now Tuis, along with other birds, drink and bathe in it daily in Vicky's garden.

Just Dreaming2001 viewsJust Dreaming is a reclining form, about 1.4 metres in length. When she was lying on my drive outside my shed she was often stroked by visitors who enjoyed her very smooth finish (like marble).

Floral symphony1268 viewsIn my garden I have a really wild patch where Japanese anemones grow rampant. They twist together and fight for position, trying to get the best light and soil, and crowding out any other plants in their way. Many people tell me that these plants are weeds and I should try to eradicate them because they’ll take over my whole garden.
But I love them. I love the way their white flowers stand out in the shadows, and how regardless of my neglect of them that they’ll reward me with a riotous floral symphony

A Taste of Elegance1510 viewsThis is one of the most time consuming pieces I have ever carved! It took months - to carve out the bowl of the glass, drill thousands of holes to make the laceyness, shape the leaves, and the sanding was a nightmare.
But this piece while formal, is super elegant. I uplight it at night to show the shadows and form. Its one of my current favourites. Apr 03, 2016

Tui on Flax (Lacey)1430 viewsIn Spring there are hundreds of tuis at my place, fighting over kowhais and flax flowers while I work. They are such beautiful birds.
I have been thinking about making a lacey sculpture with birds for a while and a tui on a flax is my first attempt.
This was made a a birthday present for an environmentalist. I hope it sits well amongst your bush/garden and that the tuis fly around it there too. (SOLD)Apr 03, 2016
