About the artwork: 

ANZAC references the Māori waharoa (gateway) and pare (lintel), traditional thresholds between the living and sacred spaces. Inspired by a family korowai (cloak), this tāniko pattern was made to honour WWII Ngāpuhi soldiers. The shimmering tapestry forms a contemporary gateway welcomes visitors, and commemorates ANZAC connections as it has been shown in both Australia and now Aotearoa.
