Cast Glass Koauau - olive on a perspex stand

- Mike Cameron

Contemporary Koaua-Flute. Made using cast glass.

Mike Cameron is born & bred in Whangarei, Northland and so have a strong connection to the sea & forest.

The glass element represents Tangaroa (god of the sea) whilst the Swamp Kauri or other wood represents Tane (god of the forest).

Once played, the breath of Mauri (life force) enters the Koauau & makes it sing the sounds of Tawhirimatea (god of wind), across Tangoroa & in the footsteps of Tane. This sound sends messages to our Tuouna (ancestors) & realms beyond our own. The wood it Puriri.
