This beautiful Kina (sea urchin) Disc pendant has been carved from New Zealand pounamu (greenstone/ jade) by Ana Krakosky - Te Atiawa.
The Disc (Kōpae) represents eternity, togetherness, and continuity.
Ana is a pounamu carver, furniture maker, product designer, painter and metalsmith with a background in design and education. She is drawn to learning and mastering new techniques. Her work as a whole, tells a story about the journey of mastering the use of different mediums. As a member of Te Atiawa, legend has it that her people descended from the sky.
I try to remember this in my work; to craft for great worth, make it well, see unlimited potential, make good choices, challenge myself and love what I do.
Many of my designs are inspired by the natural world and movement or form within it. I’m fascinated by the details found in nature and how geometry and design are embedded within it. Mother nature is the ultimate of all designers, the way she puts colours together, her proportions, textures, elements, and microscopic detail and the beauty within her delicate shapes and forms.
I explore and plan out the best proportions and shapes for my pieces. My work is a reflection of my life in a moment past, a snapshot of the present and/or a snippet of the future. It speaks not only for me, but for all those who have gone before me and those who will come after me. I love working with the strength of pounamu and the feel of it between my fingers as I shape and mold it into something someone else will treasure and value.
