Cartography of Stillness: Ki Utu Ki Tai
Breathe new life into your home with this stunning, vibrant art print, designed to captivate and energize any space.
Inspired by the Māori environmental principle ki uta ki tai—from the mountains to the sea—this artwork explores the continuous journey of water, geology, and life across the landscape.
Flowing blue forms emerge through layered earth tones like mountain ranges, braided rivers, underground aquifers and coastal systems, suggesting the unseen pathways that connect the highest peaks to the ocean beyond the horizon. Rather than depicting a specific place, the composition imagines landscape as an interconnected living system where every element influences another.
Part of the Cartography of Stillness series, Ki Uta Ki Tai reflects on the relationships between landforms, water, ecological networks and time, inviting viewers to consider the landscape as a dynamic whole rather than separate parts.
Created by contemporary New Zealand artist Kim Johnson, this artwork is available as museum-quality fine art prints and professionally framed print options in multiple sizes.
Available as:
Fine Art Print
Professionally Framed Fine Art Print
Multiple size options
Museum-quality archival printing
Ideal for collectors, contemporary homes, architectural interiors, and spaces seeking artwork that celebrates both the visible beauty and hidden complexity of the natural world.
