Searching For Home

I keep cycling and circling around Mauao, forever framing, structuring and focusing, forever trying to unlock his mysteries. The rejected, nameless maunga became the coveted chief of this area. This image is based on a photograph by Tony Stevens who has given me permission to use his image to create this work. This view is from Kaiate falls in Welcome Bay.
