'Tiki Auaha'

Tiki Auaha mixed-media sculpture by James Cannon, featuring custom paint, feathers, LED lighting, and recycled computer components, winner of the 2017 Ruapehu Art Awards 3D section.


This Tiki is a symbol of life and fertility, its name is ‘Tiki Auaha’ which signifies creation, the creator. The abstract paint design challenges the viewer's imagination with notions of terrestrial landscapes, auroral light, and nebula imagery passing all into one. 

This piece later won 1st place in the 3D section of the 'Ruapehu Art Awards', October 2017.

Medium: Plywood, Steel plate, custom paint, feathers, computer hard-drives, LED ribbon
