    Matariki Keystone

    This stunning centrepiece is the second piece in the 

     Keystone series and reflects ideas from the Lights of 

     Matariki Project. With Karen exploring several patterns    

     painstakingly pieced on each surface to create 

     the illusion of a lightweight object.

    Baby Waves

     The beautiful qualities of the larger wave lights has   

      been captured in our new petite version.        

     Which includes  a posie  version of the Flower  

      Garden light with its array of coloured resin 

      flowers.

    

     

      Lights of Matariki

        Exploring the themes of Matariki has developed  

        into a project of 7 lights each accompanied with 

        an original poem.

        In all their are 6 poems and a nursery rhyme

        called the Seven little stars 

        written by Genevieve Mclean and sung by Grey  

        Lynn Primary! The collection and poems are  

        included in Matariki 09 at Corbans 

 

        The collaborative process is exciting with the  

        ideas now including larger lights, artworks, 

        objects, merchandise, photo essay Book

          and CD with the poets performing their  

        works accompanied with musicians!

        From a small flicker of an idea....

     Waves Vase

      This asymetrical vase was inspired by Japanese    

      woodblock printmaking and Chinese ceramics 

      exported to Europe in the 18th & 19th Centuries.

     Along with ceramics, tea and all things Chinese a        

      trade imbalance quickly arose nearly bankrupting   

      England and Europe. This amongst other things lead 

      to forced trade with opium as a way of rectifying the 

     imbalance, 7 of the world powers at that time invaded 

     China creating a Western foothold in Hong Kong. The 

     Boxer Revolution, disintergration of the last Dynasty, 

     the Japanese invasion and eventually China as we 

     know it. 

 

     The West is once again hugely in debt to China, 

     History repeating itself?

      Hearts

     Who can`t resist? 

       A new variation of the Discus series.

       Dried lotus leaf and gold leaf line work 

       with crumble leaf are inlaid into resin and highly   

       polished. This piece was created for the 75th 

       Birthday of Ronald`s mother.
