🍃 Commission for Dept of Conservation ( DOC) Thames. 🐌
100cm x 80cm~ Acrylic ink & acrylic
🐋 While the original painting will hang in the Thames / Coromandel Peninsula Doc office, the image of it will be used as a peep board / hole in the head board for promotion & events to raise awareness of our native forest but predominantly the Kauri tree & the effects of kauri dieback disease on this mighty tree.
The brief was to include Kauri, Tohora ( whale) , Ruru (owl) , Kereru ( wood pigeon) , giant weta & giant snail.
The words read:
“Just as kauri entwine with others to protect the health of the forest, we work together to protect our kauri lands for future generations.
He waka eke noa – We are all in this together”
( please feel free to google the relationship and story between the Kauri & Tohora its beautiful )
