Description
Mike Crawford (Raukawa)
Kumete Manu
cast glass, 2018
H. 290mm x W. 580mm x D. 210mm
Mike Crawford works primarily in cast glass. He completed a Bachelor of Design at the Unitec School of Design in Auckland and, following this, worked as a technician to pre-eminent glass artist Ann Robinson.
His simple, elegant style often incorporates simplified bird forms and his work is represented in many national collections. Kumete Manu (food bowl bird) speaks directly to the cause of the kākāpō, with its iridescent colour, elegant and majestic bird shape and reference to sustenance. One of the biggest issues for kākāpō survival is food and, in particular, the rimu berries in a ‘mast’ season associated with breeding.
