    Kotahitanga Series | Leonie Sharp

    Based in Whanganui, Leonie Sharp has created this stunning work of art using feathers that are delicately overlaid and finished in a timber frame.

    So graphically striking from a distance, yet so exquisitely intricate close up - these works of art will enhance any interior space with grace.

    Dimensions:
    Width - 550mm x Height - 560mm

    "It is made with care using all natural materials and adhering to all New Zealand Department of Conservation guidelines.  No protected native birds were used in making this artwork.   All feathers are from non protected natives or introduced species.  All feathers are natural colours and sourced from renewable resources.

    The feathers are washed and dried and before framing each piece is sprayed with an  industrial grade pyrethrum and sealed airtight.

    Please keep out of direct sunlight as this could cause condensation inside the frame which can not be removed. The butterflies do not retain moisture and will not loose their colour as they are protected by UV glass but will be damaged by the moisture from condensation should this occur". - L Sharp



    Please Note - 
    The 'in situ mockup' is merely an example of visual representation within an environment and it does not truly reflect the size of the work. Please refer to the measurements above for the exact dimensions of this artwork.

    Caring for your artwork

    HANGING YOUR ART - Where possible, hang your artwork with two wall mounted hangers fixed to wall studs or wall anchors when necessary. Do not hang your artwork in direct sunlight or in a room with large temperature variations.

    CLEANING -  Clean glass with a non-ammonia based glass cleaner with a microfiber cloth. Avoid spraying cleaner directly on the artwork. Dust your paintings & frames with a clean, soft rag occasionally to prevent dust build-up. Do not use cleaning products or water.

    LOCATION - Hang your artworks away from very busy & possibly messy areas. Over time, artworks can accumulate a thin layer of dust, pollutants & airborne grime. Display your artworks in a less exposed area affected by these.

    STORAGE - Prevent accidents & store your artworks away from anything that may press against the surface. Do not cover artworks with plastic for long periods of time. If there is humidity in the air, they may start to grow mold. Cotton sheets are best for keeping dust away.

    PREVENTION - Try avoid subjecting your artworks to extreme changes in atmosphere. Avoid excessive dryness, humidity, heat or cold. Check the condition of your artworks periodically. Once hung up there is a tendency to forget about it until noticeable damage has occurred. If you notice the artwork is fading or cracking, move it to a better place & avoid further damage.

    WE CAN HELP - If your artwork does get damaged, return the piece back to The Poi Room and we can advise the best course of action for you.
