Maria Lloyd
Sculptor
Waiheke Island
I am fascinated by ancient civilisations, their cultures and how they created ceremonial art forms and objects to distinguish themselves and document their histories. By unraveling their mysteries we inevitably learn more about ourselves. Through cross-cultural exploration of our origins, our ancestors and the land, I seek to replicate that sense of wonder and mystery.
I have a deep respect for artistic traditions which reflects in my work through beading, sewing, carving and bronze work. The graphic and narrative nature of my work is an outflow of my formal graphic design background. I am hands-on and create all my work in my foundry on Waiheke Island, New Zealand. My sculptures have found homes locally and internationally.
Original Bronze Sculpture by Maria Lloyd
Dimensions: 215×110×70mm (standing)
The metal pin at the back of the sculpture can be removed and can be hung on the wall. There is a hole in the back of the stand off the back for a string.
These new bronze sculptures by Maria Lloyd of Koa Bronze are truly something special. Each piece explores themes of change and transformation, beautifully detailed with an embossed poem that invites quiet reflection. The playful imagery and symbolic forms are perfectly balanced by Maria’s thoughtful, poetic storytelling.
Cast and finished by hand in her Waiheke Island foundry, Maria’s work carries a sense of ancient craft - timeless, tactile, and deeply human.
I cartwheel
The world
Upside-down
Surreal
The sky a whirl
Of blue
Clouds above
Clouds below
How happy I feel
This no one
Can steal

I’d fly to you

Tomorrow
I’d fly with you
Little bird
Carry my heart
This way
Singing
To you

Moon golden
On the ocean
Waves lapping
Your reflection
Is it lonely
In the ink black sky
Do you feel you fit in
Amongst the stars
Trying to hide your own scars
Do you wonder
And wander
Do you understand
Life’s building castles
In the sand
Do you take things
In your stride
Dancing in the sky
I’ll hold your hand
And kiss the moon
