Murihiku

Tale of Southland- Murihiku (2015)

Location:
Invercargill, South Island

Invercargill's Russell Square is graced by the Whale Tale, a metal sculpture
measuring 7 metres by 10 metres, serving as the entrance. This majestic piece draws inspiration from the region's history David describes it as, “A rich connection to the land and sea and flourishing coexistence of cultures. The geometric patterning of nature provides the blueprint for strength and growth… a woven structure reminiscent of traditional Māori woven baskets”.
