Carved from ancient kahikatea long sheltered beneath Northland’s rivers, this sculpture carries the weight of time and renewal. Its faceted surfaces catch and fracture light like a gemstone, revealing warm, golden depths within the grain. Drawing on the form of a pou and the luminosity of carved stone, it stands as both guardian and offering, honouring whenua, ancestry, and quiet gratitude.

Karen often uses reclaimed native timber in her work, carving it into new abstract forms that accentuate the material’s tone and texture. When each piece is selected, it is transformed into art and Karen sees it as breathing life back into what was once part of a building and before that, a forest. Karen is also skilled in bronze work, often taking inspiration from the smallest native specimen such as a puha (watercress) leaf, and enhancing its natural beauty through casting a large but delicate wall work.
