Description

Two poles/pou carved as tree trunks, painted, and topped with stylised metal renderings. One pole is carved to resemble a nikau palm, painted white and topped with flames, while the other is carved with the texture of a different tree (cabbage tree?), painted black, and topped with a fish/seal.

A plaque installed with the work reads “Presented to the Schools of Architecture and Design by Craig Craig Moller on the occasion of the Graduation 1 May 1996”
