Niche Biota

Niche Biota Art and science collide to emphasize New Zealand's natural beauty.

Crystal and flower adorned skulls, taxidermy preservation, botanical frames, wet and dry jar specimens and real invertebrate jewellery, all with locally thifted and foraged parts.

I enjoy seeing how the set up changes and evolves alongside me through the times.

Really stoked how this came out.
Been sitting on what to do with this thrifted painting for a long time, found the perfect bones to make her into "The dark rider".

🕸️ Sheetweb spider upon a rat bone, with lichen and manuka flower.🕸️

Another one of a kind piece will be available this weekend at Moon Bloom Markets and Oddity Alley Markets!!
Moon Bloom Markets 🌙
Oddity Alley

All parts in this piece are locally sourced in New Zealand!

The spider was gifted to me by a stall mate at Oddity Alley a few months ago (was it you Tox & Twitch | Creative | Trinkets | Custom?! I'm gonna feel bad if I get it wrong 😅), the lichen was all locally foraged last year in Whangarei by me, the rat bones I acquired from another bone artist in an already cleaned condition (saved soo much time when I can source bones precleaned from other locals) I always ensure items I purchase from others i know exactly how the animal died - in this case trapping for conservation - and the process in which the bones are cleaned (to ensure quality).

Little guy is coming along nicely, almost ready to go for a double weekend with Moon Bloom Markets 🌙 on Saturday and Oddity Alley on Sunday!!

This is a one of a kind peice and is impossible to replicate due to all the natural items being foraged from the wild over many years by me personally, and crystals are all thrifted from local op shops.

Sadly this pukeko was found deceased on the roadside when I discovered it; but it gave me the opportunity to show the beauty in death, for those who may appreciate.
