This sculpture replaced another piece that was damaged during one of the Christchurch earthquakes of 2010 / 2011. The original sculpture was done by another artist and was sculpted in two parts. This one is made from one block of stone which has managed to stay in one piece during the aftershocks that have shaken Christchurch.
Spiral Koru sculpture - The koru is a symbol of creation because of its fluid circular shape. Based on the unfurling fern frond of the native New Zealand silver fern.
