Roimata - Rimu

- Shannon Turuwhenua

Introducing the Roimata Rimu, a uniquely handcrafted piece built from Rimu wood, finished with danish oil.

The Roimata meaning tear (of crying), grief and renewed life. This taonga embodies the energy of healing, shared emotions, empathy, and connectivity to the land. Shannon saw this in a villa/bungalow that was recently renovated.

Shannon Turuwhenua is a Wood Sculptor based in North Waikato. He is part of a Whanau based Collective (Past Present Future) that covers multiple art disciplines. Shannon creates his art from native and exotic timbers from around the country. Where possible the timber is reclaimed/recycled.

Each piece is handcrafted and as a result, no two pieces are exactly the same Shannon takes inspiration from objects in daily life. Recreating them into larger pieces of art.

Give your home a touch of style with this one-of-a-kind masterpiece!
