'Wāhine' 3.7m bronze located on Victoria Street, Auckland City.
Referencing Te Waihorotiu, an ancestral stream that once ran through the valley on which Queen Street has been built. This was once a stream thriving with life which supported local iwi.
A work remembering what was once a very different place to what we now see. The scale and detailing this work are wonderful to see. I love the fact that the wahine is carrying a bunch of kawakawa, a very meaningful plant.
From 'Our Auckland' website:
'Wāhine' is a 3.7 metre bronze sculpture of a Māori woman, created by master carver Arekatera (Katz) Maihi (Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, Ngāti Whātua ki Kaipara, Tainui, Te Waiohua, Ngāpuhi) and Beronia Scott (Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei).
