Wozo Birds
Wozos have evolved out of years of studying and carving birds, light hearted caricatures of real birds and
some purely fantastical. The name derives from the French “oiseau” meaning bird and has been suitably
Australianised. The team that creates these extraordinary little works of art consists of Andre’, his partner
Catherine and daughter Lara.
They are made individually using timber that would normally be wasted, butt ends, branch wood and other
pieces not suitable for furniture manufacture and therein lies their beauty. The fine finish achieved brings to life
the magical whorls of grain and depth of fiddle back not usually seen in commercial grade timber.
The heads are sculptured in wax and then hand cast in moulds using reconstituted marble. They are bonded
to the bodies and painted in the finest artist’s oils to achieve the translucency found only in this medium.
Finally each Wozo is finished with a durable lacquer and signed individually by the artist.
