WHANGĀREI
Night Watcher
Created by Briar van Ameringen

These birds of the night often keep themselves camouflaged within their environment and the night to keep away from predators such as dogs, cats, rats and stoats.
The design highlights the vulnerability of the kiwi but also celebrates their skillful nature of keeping hidden amongst their environment. The bright colours of the day contrast against the shapes and eyes hidden in the night. A playful and vibrant piece to add to your garden space.
