Johnathan Percy is originally from Christchurch but is now based in South Waikato. He strives to create high quality contemporary carvings from a range of different materials like Pounamu, Pakohe, Ōnewa, Basalt and bone just to name a few. His influences and interests in stone stem from long standing use of stone by humanity and the role this technology has played in our evolution throughout the ages. Nature is also a heavily influential contributor to his work, especially our rich bird life in Aotearoa.
