Kid walking up Vertigraph

Vertigraph

The brainchild of Colin Hughes, these picturesque tiles were designed and created by a team of 12 artisans from the Whakatane Society of Arts and Crafts and completed in 2007.

Each tile is an independent work of art, featuring local flora and fauna, and as a whole it forms a continuous mural.
