Contemporary Carving

I photographed this contemporary carving last year at Hokonui Marae in Gore in the South Island. I was visiting the marae to research one of the traditional kai features for Ngai Tahu's TE KARAKA magazine and in between courses, I ambled about the marae grounds photographing points of interest. I made the mistake of not finding out who the carver was but I'm featuring it here regardless because it highlights contemporary carving expression and technique. www.tekaraka.co.nz www.ngaitahu.iwi.nz
