Acrylic on ancient maire | Resin finish | 115 x 100 mm
Part of the Maire and Messenger series

Perched softly on the warm, flowing grain of ancient maire, a NZ Robin holds space in stillness. A fine white thread winds gracefully through the natural curves and hollows of the wood, speaking to unseen messages…moments of connection between land, creature, and spirit.

Painted in delicate acrylic layers and sealed beneath a high-gloss resin, there is an intimate reflection on presence and place. The unique shape of the maire, with its hollowed edge and dark textures, adds to the work’s quiet, organic strength.

Nothing forced, only found. This one-of-a-kind artwork has been created in reverence for New Zealand’s native wildlife and the stories they carry.
