\n Ford’s work takes inspiration from\u00a0the use of stones by early M\u0101ori –\u00a0who could select and shape some of the hardest rocks in the world into tools and weapons with knowledge passed through generations.\n<\/p>\n

\n A document submitted with the plans explains that the Tokiwai\/Water Adze is “inspired by the first tools that were used to cut, create, build, weave, skin\u00a0and dig water trenches that allow water to flow and give life”.\n<\/p>\n
