Fate534 viewsTwisting form - similiar to Mobius with more twists and more upright stance. When I was carving this life was going through a bit of a bad patch in my life and it made me think how life twists from going through a good phase, and then a bad, and then good... etc. I suppose we have to have the bad, to appreciate the good?

Memorial for Dad.666 viewsOne of the statues carved soon after my father's death in memory of him. This little tiki was made from one of the first pieces of stone I bought on the day Dad died. Dad taught me to carve in wood (in a Maori style) so this tiki is carved just for him.
NOT FOR SALE

detail "changing face"442 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.
