I have been working feverishly to get as much good stuff as I can to this show - I didn't want to just send a meagre handful of odds and ends. I will have at least 3 original Paipo stone tikis (the first time these have EVER been exhibited outside NZ), and 10 or so resins, including some rare end-of-run pieces from molds that are now damaged and will never be available again! Designs include Ku, Cannibal, Tang, Bumatay and maybe a Creature or two! Resin pendants have genuine beachcombed mussel shell inlays and cockle shell toggles, hand detailing, handbraided cords and are all signed personally. So there's a little piece of Paipo and a bit of Te Tai Poutini in each and very one!
Best of all is a very unique piece I have been busting a gut to get made for this show especially (as previewed above)...with a super secret special ingredient!

PS: I can't believe you gave a newbie from Aotearoa top billing on the poster - I'm not worthy! I just hope these pieces help make your inaugural exhibition a raging success Hank!

PICS SOON - I will add more images once the show is underway...
