Ōtautahi artist Nathan Pohio’s celebrated large-scale artwork will return to Christchurch in time for opening celebrations of SCAPE Public Art Season 2018, Our Braided Future (6 October – 17 November 2018).
A critically acclaimed presentation, Raise the anchor, unfurl the sails, set course to the centre of an ever setting sun! was commissioned and produced by SCAPE Public Art for SCAPE 8 2015. Illuminated at a grand scale and a proportion approximating Panavision, the 110-year-old image reads like a billboard for the latest blockbuster. The photograph is of Lord Plunket in his early motor car visiting Māori leaders at the Tuahiwi Marae north of Christchurch that was taken for the Canterbury Times in May 1905.
