16 APRIL TO 14 MAY 2025
Ngā Arawai/ The Waterways by Anton Forde presents works in kōhatu/stone, Ngāi Tahu Pounamu, obsidian, andesite and basalt, carved with markings of wai/ water and arawai/ waterways that are vital to humanity’s survival and wellbeing. This work recognises the importance of ancient wisdom and knowledge that is sometimes forgotten. Mātauranga Māori is key in acknowledging the importance of treating wai with great reverence, as well as ngā taha wairua/ the spiritual aspect of water. Ngā Arawai/ The Waterways is inspired by the sacredness and living properties of wai/ water. The exhibition also aims to reconnect people with how important water is for humanity.
Exhibited with Viaduct Harbour Limited presents the Aotearoa Art Fair Sculpture Trail at Waitematā Plaza, 110 Customs St West, Auckland.
