"Rangimārie" Moss oasis, from the "Korowai O Te Ngahere" Collection
The featured artwork is “Rangimārie" the 1st piece in my moss oases collection. It was made to accompany two other artworks, but is equally as powerful as a standalone art piece.
Introducing "Korowai O Te Ngahere", a collection of lush, serene, moss oases, hand sculpted in polymer clay.
1. "Rangimārie" (quiet, peaceful)
2. "Aumārie" (harmonious, peaceful)
3. "Wakamārie" (calm, peaceful)
In Te Reo Māori, "Ngahere" means Forest and "Korowai" typically means "blanket" or "covering," which beautifully captures the essence of a moss wall's verdant texture. Each art piece in this collection "Rangimārie", "Aumārie" and "Wakamārie", is intended to evoke tranquility into your space.
Initially, these artworks were inspired by the diverse and abundant mossy landscapes of Aotearoa, New Zealand. But the meanings of them have evolved organically as I navigate the wild journey of motherhood. It can be quite chaotic and over stimulating at times, but amoungst these are the quiet moments of calm that give me time to reflect on how beautiful the journey is.
Find your own calm, serene, and still moments in these moss oases.
Artwork Materials: Polymer clay on round MDF board, attached by command velcro strips to a white wooden frame made by Glynn Berland Art
Size: 385 mm diameter, 17 mm wide
*My intention is to show respect and appreciation for Te Reo Māori through my artwork. I acknowledge that I am not a fluent speaker, and I am mindful of the importance of cultural sensitivity and respect. I have made a genuine effort to use the language correctly and respectfully, and I hope that as a New Zealand artist, my artwork is received in the spirit it is intended.

Danny developed her own moulding technique to create unique, detailed art pieces out of polymer clay. By mixing the coloured polymer clay and by adding texture she creates depth which gives life to each design. Each piece is carefully hand sculpted then baked to harden, once baked they are glued mostly to a wooden surface for hanging.
