Ric Moor
The artist behind this creationRic has worked as a jade carver for more than 17 years. He was initially attracted to jade as a medium because of its sense of permanency.
Through his craft he has been able to discover and define himself as a person, a teacher, as kaitiaki of pounamu and as a New Zealander - Ngāti Pākehā - who identifies strongly with Māori culture.
Symbolising the bond between two people, connecting the lives of friends, family or loved ones.
The Twist
The Twist is thought to represent two people's life path. Like the continuous shape of the pikorua, life for both individuals will continue despite many unexpected twists and turns, inevitably bringing them together again one day.
