Kōwhaiwhai Panel Hiwa-Te-Rangi

Kōwhaiwhai Panel Hiwa-Te-Rangi  | Ra Gossage

Ra Gossage beautifully honors custom and celestial narrative in this exquisite hand-painted wood artwork. 

The piece honours Waitā the Matariki star connected to the ocean, tides, and marine life reinterpreting traditional kōwhaiwhai through a luminous palette of metallic gold, cream, and deep burgundy that evokes fluid water currents and cosmic energy.

Meticulously detailed and painted by hand, the rhythmic, interlocking motifs are dotted with delicate star details, highlighting a deep connection to whakapapa (lineage) and the celestial realm.

This long, architectural statement piece establishes a powerful cultural presence, bringing timeless Māori design and sophisticated craftsmanship to any modern space.
