We're excited to announce a new double installation on the ever-evolving Brick Bay Sculpture Trail.
We are thrilled to present our first collaboration with artist Anton Forde. As a sculptor specialised in carving kāmaka (an ancient Māori term for stone or rock), Forde (Taranaki, Gaeltacht, Gaelic, English), has a deep appreciation for the earth, a boundless curiosity about the subterranean layers beneath its surface and a fascination for the histories that kāmaka can tell.
In this site-specific installation specifically for Brick Bay, Forde’s sculptures Arorangi - Upwards, Heavenwards and Porotaka - Circular continue his exploration of ancient stone-based tools for carving, building, fishing, weaving, weaponry and embellishment.
