A Collaboration Born at the Market
My connection with Ricci began at the vibrant Packhouse Market in Kerikeri, where she was a familiar face showcasing her captivating work. You can explore more of her creations, including pieces available for purchase, through this link to her Instagram page.
Ricci’s drawings instantly grabbed my attention, particularly her mesmerizing mandalas. Inspired by her unique designs, I embarked on a collaborative project. I meticulously selected wood that would perfectly complement her artwork and then, using a specially built diode laser, transferred her images onto the wooden platters and plates I had crafted.
Here’s Ricci’s own reflection on her art:
“As a mixed media artist based in Kerikeri, I draw inspiration from the beauty of nature and its creatures, the earth’s energy and our connection to it, and the magic that resides within each of us, waiting to be expressed through our authentic selves.
My artwork aspires to soothe the soul, expand the mind, and invite you to experience the natural world through my eyes: a wondrous place brimming with magic and mystery!”
