Six circular panels that joint to reveal the form of a giant kauri tree, evocative of Mountford's time in the Waipoua Kauri Forest on the Auckland Peninsula, north of Dargaville. The work demonstrates the artist's concern for conservation and ecological balance. She considered the circle a universal symbol of growth and fulfilment, encouraging contemplation and constant re-evaluation, applicable to both physical and spiritual cycles.

This is one of five fibre works by Mountfort which, alongside items by Mae Taurua, Pippa Davies, Jaqueline Greenbank, Emma Fitts, Julia Holderness, Florence Akins, Ngarita Johnstone and Cath Brown, reflects the Canterbury region's strong tradition of textile arts celebrated in the UC Art Collection.
