Mural installation in the main atrium of Tauranga Art Gallery

This installation speaks to the urgent need for change in our world, that systemic toxicity burns & melts as quickly as the fires of climate change while the floods of ancestral bloodlines rise up to bring awareness to the way forward.

We hope our fearless & boujie Kaitiaki will inspire people to ride the powerful Taniwha of change, to shine a light on the lessons of the past & bring them into the future, with Mahuika's nails lighting the way through even the darkest times.
