About this artwork
Location: Moeraki, New Zealand
According to Maori legend, the stone balls originate from a giant canoe, the Arai-te-uru, which once sailed from Hawaiki (the mythical island of origin of the Māori) to New Zealand. On this voyage, the canoe carried numerous baskets of kumara (sweet potatoes), pumpkins and gourds – all essential foodstuffs. But the canoe capsized off the coast of Otago. The storage vessels and pumpkins were washed ashore and transformed… into the giant stone balls we see today as the Moeraki Boulders.
