Ahopoka River Tōtara

Ahopoka River Tōtara | Shannon Turuwhenu

This powerful sculpture is a contemporary meditation on time and flow by artist Shannon Turuwhenua.

Hand-carved from magnificent Tōtara wood, the piece is deeply rooted in the geography and spirit of Aotearoa.

The design features a striking vertical split, which serves as a testament to the wood's natural history.

This raw texture is juxtaposed with the deliberate geometry of circular cut outs and the precise line accent.

The sculpture elegantly echoes the enduring journey of the Ahopoke River, transforming a piece of ancient material into a minimalist dialogue about permanence and natural flow.
