Tiki sitting on Totara stump lamenting deforestation, painting from Liam Barr
Totara Graveyard

2006,  Oil on Canvas, 76 x 76cm

Influenced by the fallen totara forests of Banks Peninsula, the tiki figure laments over the twisted, sculptural, silver giants which once stood to provide a majestic skyline over Port Levy. We imagine the terrain as it must have been and beg the question, why.
