“Anton’s carved installation can be read as a ‘call to action’ with regards to the climate crisis that is facing humanity in the modern era,” says Nigel Borell, who is on Sculpture on the Gulf’s selection committee. “The work is agenda-setting as it propositions us all to think and take responsibility for our own footprint that we leave on the land.” 2022.

“On the eve of an exciting new exhibition, Kāmaka, to be held at Bentley’s Great North Rd showroom, Anton shares with Viva the physical, mental and spiritual might behind his works.

“I had just finished my Master of Māori Visual Arts when Covid confined me to our little home on Waiheke. At the time I had become fascinated with anchor stones as one of the first technological breakthroughs for man.

I loved the forms, the connection and the natural beauty of a simple rock with a hole in it.”
