Our cherished pieces
Discover the artworks that hold a special place in my heart, each infused with stories of heritage, connection, and inspiration from my Maori and Scottish roots.
Mana tangata: sculptures of connection
Among all my creations, the mana tangata sculptures are truly my most cherished. These pieces are more than just ceramics; they are a profound reminder of the ancestors who came before me, leaving behind a legacy of wonderful values that I hold dear. Each sculpture embodies the strength, integrity, and spirit passed down through generations, connecting me to my whakapapa and a deep sense of belonging.
Inspired by lineage and belonging
The inspiration for these favourite pieces comes from the very core of my being – the stories of where I came from. Every curve and line in these sculptures is guided by the desire to connect myself through whakapapa, celebrating my ancestral ties and the profound sense of belonging they provide. It's a journey of self-discovery and a tribute to the rich tapestry of my heritage.
Fostering familial connections
When you explore my 'Favourites' page, my greatest hope is that you will feel a deep sense of connection. I want these pieces to resonate with you, sparking a memory or thought of someone in your own family (whānau) whom you hold in high regard. It's about recognizing the enduring bonds and cherished values that link us all across generations and cultures.
