Social interaction is a transaction between two or more individuals and is a component of society. Reminiscing (go over in one’s memory) is a stimulating activity that promotes social interaction. Jane Johnson-Matua (2015). Granny recycled, discarded, pre-owned, pre-loved materials that implement to transform to a new life; sustainability is meant to last forever.

The area was cleared with native trees and a flax plantation established. The area is occupied by wildlife; trout that spawn and make their way to Lake Rotorua and variety of native birds. Three large boulders (7, 8 and 9 feet tall) were collected from Mt Ngongotaha then worked onsite. Fired Rotorua wild clay tablets were inserted sealed with resin. The intention is that the forest growth will eventually over tower the giant boulders, and be in awe when you come across these giants.

The figures dance/ fly/ float/ tumble in playful patterns, generating a sense of exuberance and vitality. This vitality is echoed in the growth symbolism of the kape (plant) motifs that surround them.
