Here stands our tallest peak in New Zealand, Aoraki Mt Cook.  Ngāi Tahu's sacred mountain is crowned with gold geometric patterns. The Hindu god Raama illuminates the expansive night sky.

The substrate I was working on lent character and direction to "Aoraki Raama." It is fibreglass board, moulded with the deep cracks like gnarled concrete.  I had three such boards to work on and all three drew out rugged, rocky, snow covered Aoraki from my imagination.
