“Never to be seen” was inspired by a recent trip to Rakiura / Stewart Island and a 3 day walk in the National Park.
Whilst walking I was admiring the amazing ferns and trees and thinking about how I could use the organics in my ceramic pieces. We heard from locals that Kiwis were everywhere and that they could be seen at dusk and dawn. But alas we didn’t see any. I now think they are a myth and are “Never to be seen”.
It wasn’t my intension to make this piece Kiwi looking but the clay often takes on a mind of its own. The organics (fern fronds ) were not collected from Rakiura, but are from my own garden.
