Tui on Flax (Lacey)862 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)

Queen to Pawn 7857 viewsWe treat the global warming issue like a game - thinking that we can play around with the environment in the hope of better economic outcomes - and then when this game is over and we've lost the game (our environment) we can put the pieces back on the board and start again.
The Queen piece (on left) shows the sun, its power distorted by growing industrial activity. The Pawn(on right)the flooding, slipping, melting of glaciers.

Face 1: The perfect state824 viewsMind and body in harmony with each other makes a perfect pattern of peace and tranquility. Our sense of well-being, our happiness, and our care for one another and the world we live in, are pieces of an intricate pattern which is perfect and complete.

detail "changing face"822 viewsCulture changes and evolves as it comes in contact with new ideas and other people.
Dad taught me to carve in a Maori style, and every now and then I revisit that.
In this piece I combine the traditional method of carving - with traditional shapes cut out of paua and inserted in the stone in a non-traditional way.
It pays homage to the past, and looks forward to the future – where the shape of things can still pay homage to what has come before, but isn’t afraid to adapt to new ideas.
