Uenuku was inspired by a Tiki that was carved for me as an exchange for a baby sperm whale jaw bone David Brosnahan (artist) found just north of Orewa, along with 5 teeth.
The initial design and proof of concept was inspired when in Vietnam as he had been living there for 4 years.
CNC Router cut MDF
There are 11 parts to each Uenuku.
They have 2 coats of primer // sealer undercoat then painted using Molotow Belton spray paint. A high quality, German made, graffiti art spray paint.
The 11 pieces are then glued together.
They are finished with a flat clear coat of high UV resistant Molotow spray paint.
Dimensions : 600mm x 12mm
