Wahaika

Strength, resilience & unity! 
A variation of the Wahaika series.. The moment someone walks into the room and sees this piece, it gives a sense of grounding. A space of calm and peace through strength and unity. If you are looking for a conversation starter, this Wahaika is for you! This piece would sit well in an entrance to your board room or the centre point of your home.

Large Bronze Tuatara

This beauty of a piece was inspired by a trip I did down the west coast of the south island, New Zealand in 2019. At the time, an avid jade carver & good friend of mine was carving a tuatara out of a greenstone boulder as a commission piece. I was absolutely fascinated by it! Then came the light bulb moment... I dreamt of sculpting one from clay and casting it in bronze!

A Blend Of Old & New

This particular piece was inspired by a book I read to my son some time ago which spoke about many of the lost fishing techniques Maori used in pre-european times.
This piece was sculpted in clay and cast in bronze, has a blade hand carved from a piece of Inanga (NZ jade) and is presented as an art piece standing nearly 600mm tall.

Tuhina Hamuera

"Like many New Zealanders, from a young age I grew up around the arts, culture and music but I always had a feeling that there was something more, something bigger. I needed to find out who I really was, and what role I was about to play in this world... "
