The Crux - Māori Angels Series

Created from a sculpture body clay and washed in a Earth slip made from clay earth from the north of Aotearoa, New Zealand,

The Crux is adorned with a Kowhaiwhai pattern (Triangular Pattern) from my ancestors across the head, these refer to the mountains and rivers in which we came from.

The Manaia figure (Carved figure on head) is the guardian in which we all carry with us.

The hand prints are a reminder to stay true to yourself.

Development, Evolution and Mastery

The Crux is a symbol of your own health and well-being.

In order to look after another you must first look after yourself, pull things apart, fit them back together and grow from the experience.

Approx. dimensions: 105cm X 40cm
