Your chance to become the kaitiaki of this stunning piece!
"Tui o te Pō" is more than a piece of Art, it is a story, it is hope, it is courage, it is protection, it is compassion and care...and it could be yours!
Sadly, the buyer fell through from the Auction, and we need to find this special Tui his new home so we can close off He Wāhi Toi.
Made with deep aroha specifically for He Wāhi Toi and Hospice Taranaki......
"Tui o te Pō — “Tūi of the Night” depicts the Tūī as a spiritual kaitiaki of the ngahere, observing and safeguarding the natural world.
Drawing on over 30 years of Traditional Maori Carving (Mahi Whakairo) experience under the guidance and teachings of Master Carver Rangi Hetet, this work is firmly grounded in traditional carving knowledge and practice. Inspired by Māori design, the flowing koru and vibrant colours symbolise life, connection, growth, and the shared journey we all undertake.
I am honoured to gift this piece to He Wāhi Toi – Art Exhibition, in support of Hospice Taranaki. ❤️
A small contribution from my practice to acknowledge and support the invaluable work Hospice provides within our community.
