Tarpaulin King Crab

Tarpaulin King Crab | Paula Coulthard

This striking textural wall hanging by Paula Coulthard is crafted from repurposed canvas or tarpaulin, featuring a vivid red King Crab silhouette. The work belongs to a series that captures the essence of New Zealand's coastal life and marine creatures.

Known for her unique approach, Paula uses the aged fabric and visible corner grommets to give the artwork the texture and soul of an authentic relic or mariner's flag.

The piece is titled with the crab's scientific and location names, "Lithodes Aotearoa" (New Zealand King Crab).

Handcrafted in Aotearoa, this piece reflects Paula's practice of imbuing salvaged materials with historical meaning and a raw, graphic power.

A powerful, one-off statement of history, texture, and New Zealand's abundant marine life.
