A Journey Into Texturings

A Journey Into Texturings | Mike Paora 

This stunning work, "A Journey Into Texturings," by Mike Paora is a contemporary sculpture or wall panel that celebrates the elemental beauty of natural wood and complex pattern work .

The circular piece is composed of Stonewood and Ipe in concentric, horizontal bands, each intricately carved or etched with distinct Māori patterns and textures. The patterns range from smooth, geometric tapatoru (triangular) shapes to deep, complex cross-hatching and ribbed textures.

Mike Paora's work is defined by the meticulous layering of texture and tone. The deep, natural browns of the various wood grains create a powerful contrast with the deep black of the dividing lines and carved spaces. The overall effect is a rich, tactile meditation on rhythm, depth, and the organic origins of design.

This extraordinary piece is a defining example of Paora's vision, creating a dialogue between the warmth of the organic material and the precision of geometric pattern.

Display this exceptional work as a bold, modern statement of texture, rhythm, and natural complexity.
