Description
An archway spanning the path at the southern entrance to Forum North. The inside of the arch displays Māori motifs.
"Paul is a Northland artist who in his early 20s began an apprenticeship under the guidance of master carver, Paki Harrison, one of the most widely-respected artists of his generation. So began what Rua Paul describes as a 'serious pedigree' in the traditions of Māori art and carving."
