He Tūhononga Moana
Pounamu Surfboard Taonga (2025)
Pounamu surfboard made from Onewa and Hapopo with a 4 plait half hitched binding. The board features acrylic painted toroa symbols engraved up the centre. This design continues onto a backing print of Sumner beach and both are framed in a magnetic openable frame.
This piece is a homage to those that have a deep connection to Moana. Surfers with a love for the peace and power the ocean offers—the yin and the yang.
