Tarpaulin Whales W10

Tarpaulin Whales W10 | Paula Coulthard

This striking pendant by Paula Coulthard is crafted from repurposed canvas or tarpaulin, featuring a pale whale silhouette on a hand-painted blue background. The whale is illuminated by diamond-shaped stars, often referencing the Matariki cluster.

Known for her textural work, Paula uses the aged fabric and visible grommets to evoke the feeling of an old sail or mariner's flag. The work is part of the Ika Moana series, inspired by Kaitiakitanga (guardianship).

Handcrafted in Aotearoa, this piece reflects Paula's deep connection to New Zealand's coastal heritage and pioneering spirit.

A powerful, one-off statement of history, texture, and environmental intention.

Display it as a powerful statement of connection to the sea, history, and raw texture.
