‘Matariki’ -made up of 9 sculpted Rimu ‘stars’ which represent the celebration of the Maori new year and all this entails. The appearance of Matariki in the morning sky is a sign for people to gather, to honour the dead, celebrate the present, and plan for the future. The formation of these ‘stars’ create patterns and symbols which also evoke connections to the sun, moon, whenua, whanau and the embracing of loved ones. The light bounces off the different ‘facets’ of the forms to create shadow, contrast and a pulsating sense of movement.
