The materials, Bone (ivory, beef, whale), Stone (argillite, greywacke, nephrite, jade) and Shell will predominate, although not exclusively. Other complementary materials will be silver, wood, plastic, fibre etc.

This exhibition is about awareness – of our heritage of Western civilisation and our cultural environment in the South Pacific; of our place in the twentieth century and the values necessary to survive the nuclear age; of the delicate fragility of our ecology and our relationship to the natural materials and the non-renewable resources of our region; of the celebration of the forces that formed these materials and the life within them; and, of the ability to communicate in objects of beauty, spirit and power.
