Nick Ford
The artist behind this creationNick always had the spirit of an artist resting within him. That artist awoke when he was asked to fix a broken bone carving that his daughter had created at school. He has sculpted and carved everything, from ancient rocks to native wood, in a wide variety of styles. Above all, Nick has been drawn to the organic form and feel of jade. Family, love and faith are persistent themes in Nick’s work and he is inspired by the many spiritual and cultural experiences of his life.
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.
