A Shared Frequency

In this work, the nostalgic form of the rotary telephone is reimagined as a monumental symbol of the lifelines we extend to one another. Standing at a larger-than-life scale, these two textile handsets serve as a testament to the vital role of communication in building and sustaining the foundations of Peace, Love, and Whanau.

At the heart of this piece is the belief that deep love and lasting peace are only possible through a strong grounding in communication. When we truly listen and share ourselves, we deepen the bonds of our whanau. This artwork celebrates the moments of clarity and the shared whispers that bridge the gap between two people, reminding us that being heard is one of the most profound ways to be loved.

You can see this at the He Kete Kotahi exhibition at the Rotorua Arts Village from the 30th of May to the 27th of June.

Bring your vision to life with a bespoke, hand-carved mini block. Whether you need a professional logo for your business, a way to immortalise a favourite doodle, or a unique caricature of your pet, these stamps offer a tactile charm that digital designs simply cannot replicate.

Each piece is carved with care, embracing the "perfectly imperfect" nature of true hand-craftsmanship. In a world full of AI-generated content, there is something deeply special about owning a tool made by human hands just for you.

Custom Commission Options
Small Blocks (5cm – 10cm): $100

Large Blocks (10cm – 15cm): $150

I recently had the pleasure of carving a custom stamp for Blue Moon Unicorn Photography Rotorua. Be sure to check out their incredible work to see how a custom stamp can add a personal touch to a local brand.

Let’s collaborate!
I would love to chat about what your custom stamp might look like. Message me today to start the conversation and let's create something beautiful together.
