Anton Forde’s (Taranaki, Gaeltacht, Gaelic, English) Māhutonga - time stands still presents works in kōhatu/stone, Pounamu, andesite, and basalt, carved with markings of Māhutonga/the Southern Cross, Raukura/feathers, and Roimata/teardrops.
These works are a recognition of and salute to our natural world, and the hope that humanity brings whilst interacting with her.
One of the artist's first memories is his father, the engineer on the Milford Road, showing him Māhutonga/ the Southern Cross in the Piopiotahi/Milford Sound night sky, telling him “if ever you are lost, those stars will guide you home.”
Anton Forde says, “These works pay tribute to those whetū/ stars, and those permanently living with the stars, who allow us to find home today.”
