See Heartland Sculpture, Taupō, New Zealand
The Heartland Sculpture is located at Tongariro South Domain Park in Taupo. It was constructed by local artist Brett Taylor, who took inspiration from the early settlers of Taupō. The heart is made of stone and is covered with 10mm of high-tech colour and clear resins.
The massive stained Matai logs that create the main structure around the heart were hauled out of the Waipohotu Forest near Mangakino.
The heavy structure, fastened with bronze straps, represents the infrastructure and hard work of early New Zealand settlers. The bronze stars at the top of the wooden structure represent those used by settlers to navigate to New Zealand.
