Part of Amie Redpath’s Kaimoana Mataitai collection, this cockle is carved from the highly valued Kahurangi pounamu—a treasure traditionally reserved for chiefs. Its simple form evokes the gentle rhythms of the ocean, the soft sands of childhood beach visits, and the timeless connection we share with these sacred shores. More than a connector to memory, this cockle stands as a call to nurture and protect the precious places that sustain us. Just as we cherish and foster our children, so too must we safeguard the marine treasures of our ancestors, ensuring the cockles—and the world they symbolize—flourish well into the future.
