This bold and substantial hei matau is a large, intricately conceived pendant that bears the unmistakable style of master carver Kerry Thompson.
The defining feature for us, is its mesmerising, complex surface architecture, built upon the disciplined repetition of flowing lines and sweeping curves. These alternating striations and undulating arcs cascade across the bone with an architectural precision, creating a wonderful visual cadence that is simultaneously structured and organic. The interplay is masterful: tightly controlled linear channels run parallel to broader, generous curvatures. These produce a palpable sense of kinetic energy, a sense that the surface of the bone is in perpetual, wave-like motion.
A gorgeous and unique piece of art.
