Hukumaro- Recovered River Totara

Hukumaro- Recovered River Totara | Shannon Turuwhenua

This exquisite sculpture by Shannon Turuwhenua is a powerful and elegant study of form and texture. Hand-carved from Totara with a rich, warm finish, the piece features a long, smooth body that gently tapers to a refined base.

The top is masterfully bound with a contrasting black cord, creating a tight, textured cap that highlights the artist's meticulous craftsmanship.

At the rounded base, three small, stylised motifs are carved out, representing growth and connection to the native environment. 

This unique work is a striking contemporary piece that honours traditional forms while celebrating the enduring beauty of natural materials.
