Piki - Kauri

- Shannon Turuwhenua

Introducing the Piki Kauri, a uniquely handcrafted piece built from Piki Kauri, finished with danish oil.

The Piki represents climbing with its support for another and to ascend. In Te Reo Māori, the phrase 'piki te ora' is said to someone you wish good health to. Piki is considered to be an energising, youthful and positive term and due to brevity, more memorable, sharable and relatable.

Shannon Turuwhenua is a Wood Sculptor based in North Waikato. He is part of a Whanau based Collective (Past Present Future) that covers multiple art disciplines. Shannon creates his art from native and exotic timbers from around the country. Where possible the timber is reclaimed/recycled.

Each piece is handcrafted and as a result, no two pieces are exactly the same Shannon takes inspiration from objects in daily life. Recreating them into larger pieces of art.

Give your home a touch of style with this one-of-a-kind masterpiece!
