Kōheuheu - Rimu

Kōheuheu - Rimu | Shannon Turuwhenua

This elegant wall sculpture, "Kōheuheu" (which means 'fan' in Māori), is a beautifully refined work by artist Shannon Turuwhenua.

Handcrafted from rich, warm-toned Rimu wood, the piece features a graceful, sweeping fan shape that showcases the timber's distinctive grain and natural character.

The top edge is accented with a line of drilled holes, through which a black cord is intricately lashed, honouring traditional binding techniques. At the base, three precise cut-outs mirror a motif symbolising growth and connection to the native environment.

This unique sculpture is a sophisticated statement piece that beautifully links traditional form with contemporary minimalist design.

Consider adding this powerful piece to your collection.
