Life Force 6 (2026) is a sculptural work by New Zealand artist John Allen — a piece of remarkable harmony. Multiple arms of pōhutukawa root from a fallen tree in Northland radiate outward from a shared centre, their curves echoing and answering one another spontaneously. The base is a piece of Greek limestone bearing the ancient Newgrange spiral — one of humanity's oldest symbols of life, renewal, and continuity. The Life Force works speak to the unseen energy that animates all living things — the deep pulse that unites the visible and invisible, the personal and the universal. It is both what gives form and what moves through it. When a sculpture carries life force well, it creates a subtle but powerful exchange: of presence, aliveness, form and flow as one, simplicity and inner calm. What defines Life Force 6 is its harmony. No single arm dominates — each one moves in its own way, yet all are in conversation, curving in similar ways — echoing each other, in harmony. The Newgrange spiral beneath them deepens that resonance. Finished with natural oil and wax.
