Kotuku Series

Kotuku Series II
​

The original series was executed within the 10 cm confines of narrow cut stone. Expanding the concept into 20cm width stone has taken the Kotuku form to a deeper dimension and allows for greater fluidity of movement in the birds. The inherent elegance of the kotuku is further enhanced.

Set onto totara blocks by a brass rod and anchored to a powder coated steel plate, the larger creations stand 1.4m and weigh approximately 25 kg.

Both sold.



Kotuku Creation V Large $POA code 09
Kotuku Creation VI Large $POA Code 10


 In reduced scale for more intimate settings, the smaller figures still retain their elegance and grace. These two are also set onto Totara blocks by a brass rod and anchored to a powder coated steel plate. They stand 1 m and weigh 15 kg. Both SOLD (living in Christchurch region)

Kotuku Series I:

There are times when small things lead to larger ideas. On a visit to Greymouth’s Art-in-the-Park in 2011, I discovered a set of kotuku (white heron) pendants in Carara marble, made as a side-line by pointillist artist Michelle Irwin. 
 
The simple flowing lines of the pendants translate well into the larger Oamaru stone forms. The grace and elegance of the Kotuku is captured in stone, set onto recycled rimu on a brass rod ,and stabilised on a powder-coated steel plate. The trio formed the nucleus of my MACT exhibition 2012.
