Wakatere
Wakatere
Material: Stainless Steel, Puriri
Size: L1450mm x H700mm x D300mm
Description: Wakatere is telling a story about the way different cultures begin to assimilate each others nuances as they come together in a kind of circling dance, consciously and unconsciously borrowing and adapting. The carved-from-solid waka form begins to take on the strip-planked mode of construction of a dinghy yet the lap-joint of the haumi persists; the dinghy assumes the rauawa decoration of the topsides of the waka; both anticipate the opportunity to incorporate the new technologies that will make their craft faster and easier to fly. The delicate tauihu in the bow reflects a highly refined design detail found from an early Polynesian voyaging waka.
SHIPPING
Nationwide (Aotearoa) - Free: If you are purchasing work that will be shipped to a destination within NZ we have included the cost of freight and will arrange a courier or specialist shipper for large crated work.
International: Since there is no 'one size fits all' we need to make a calculation based on the material (e.g bronze is more robust than glass) and the overall dimensions for each work to come up with a custom-made solution to ensure your work is handled and transported with care and efficiency.
For international shipping we will be using sea freight as air freight is not feasible in this time of Covid. As an indication of the cost of freight please add a factor of 1.25 to the NZ price, e.g. Listed price NZ$7950 x 1.25 = NZ$9937.50.
*This includes a plywood crate and biodegradable packaging materials.
**Customs and compliance costs may apply on entry to your own country
