"Ngā Tai o Kaikōura" - Glass Framed Print

Ngā Tai o Kaikōura (The Tides of Kaikōura)

Created by River Jayden, Ngā Tai o Kaikōura is a contemporary tribute to the kōura (rock lobster). The artwork draws deep inspiration from the abundant marine life of Kaikōura in Te Waipounamu (South Island). 

Set against a deep, oceanic blue backdrop, the kōura pulses with life through a vibrant colour. The distinctive line work creates intricate textures across the shell and tail, bringing a dynamic energy to the subject. 

Beyond its bold visual presence, this piece celebrates the profound cultural importance of the kōura within te ao Māori. As a highly prized source of kai, the kōura is a powerful symbol of manaakitanga (hospitality and generosity).
