Tamaora Walker
The artist behind this creationPerhaps it’s a trick of the light that lends translucence to Tamaora’s work. Or maybe this glow is evidence of an ancient Māori belief that pounamu lives and breathes. Tamaora regards pounamu with reverence and respect born of his Māori heritage, with traditional forms and symbolism deeply influencing his designs. Tamaora is from Ngāti Rangiwewehi, Ngāti Whakaue and Ngāti Rangitihi.
He has also exhibited overseas and studied the work of international carvers.
The Roimata's tear-drop shape embodies the idea of healing and resilience, reminding us of the strength within our tears.
The Roimata
Roimata in Māori translates to tears, and when carved in pounamu, the tear-drop shape of the stone speaks to the depths of human emotion and the enduring connection between nature and spirituality. Just as natural world finds balance in its cycles, the Roimata, is thought to restore balance and well-being to those who wear it and is worn as a protective talisman, guiding individuals through life's ups and downs.
