Pounamu Koru - A symbol of new beginnings

Sheree Warren

Sheree WarrenThe artist behind this creationAt just 18 years old, Sheree fell in love with the rugged charm of the West Coast and the creativity of its people. As her friends surfed the wild waters, Sheree walked along the shoreline and found her first piece of pounamu. Two decades later, the self-taught carver and confirmed “West Coaster” is so skilled in her craft, that she tutors at Tai Poutini Polytechnic in Greymouth. Her work is known for its feminine, fluid aesthetic.

A fundamental symbol in Māori art, the koru symbolises life and creation, with its fluid circular shape conveying the idea of everlastingness.

Pounamu Koru Depicting new beginnings, life and hope.

The Koru

The koru is a beloved symbol throughout Aotearoa, seen painted on tipuna (meeting houses), waka (canoes), in traditional Tā moko (Māori tattooing) and on wood and greenstone carvings. Pounamu artists use the koru pattern in many different ways; often introducing it as surface-etching or detail into other forms and shapes. It is though to depict new beginnings, life and hope.
