Oil on Aluminium 33cm x 33cm
All sizes are inclusive of the bespoke frame
The Pounamu, or Green Stone, holds significant cultural and spiritual value in Maori mythology, particularly within the legend of Tangiwai. This narrative serves as a poignant source of inspiration for a series of artworks that delve into the themes of love, loss, and transformation.
Integrating Green Gold Leaf into these pieces not only reflects the ethereal beauty of Pounamu but also adds a layer of depth, symbolising the sacred bond between the earthly and the divine. The gold leaf mirrors the shimmering facets of the Green Stone, capturing its essence in a new light while enhancing the visual narrative.
Each artwork articulates the emotion encapsulated in the myth—the lament of a chief whose grief turned his beloved into stone, immortalising her beauty forever on Mitre Peak. The use of texture and colour evokes a sense of melancholy and reverence, inviting viewers to contemplate the connection between love and loss, and the enduring power of memory.
As a collective, these works reflect both the raw beauty of Milford Sound and the profound stories woven into its landscape, inviting a dialogue that transcends time and space. They serve not only as artistic expressions but as a tribute to the rich heritage of the Maori culture, encapsulating the spiritual resonance of Tangiwai through the marriage of natural beauty and artistic craftsmanship.
Each piece is housed in a durable wooden frame that enhances its elegance. The wood's natural texture and grain create a striking contrast with the artwork, providing protection while adding an organic touch for craftsmanship enthusiasts. This versatile design suits both modern and traditional decor, ensuring the art is showcased beautifully.
