Description

A plaque on site reads: "NGA KORERORERO – ONGOING TALK / The rock formations are the tectonic plates that / shape the history of geological time. / The passageway of stepping stones mark the / footsteps of those who have gone before us. / The bronze ‘talking heads’ carry the mauri - / the life force – like us they are the living element. / Silvia Salgado / January 1996"
