Hape Kiddle
Cheril Barber
As a sculptor and jeweller Hape has been working for many years refining a language in shape and form that reflects his deep connection to the natural world. This relationship is at the heart of all his work and is a reflection on the spiritual connection humans have to all of ecology.
Hape’s work demonstrates the development of this language through the mediums of wood, stone and precious metals.
For more than a decade Hape has shared his love of making things by hand. There is a slowing down and reconnection to self that happens in this process that is something that really resonates for his students.
