NEW MĀORI LOOK FOR AUCKLAND INT. AIRPORT
The departures section in the country's largest airport has had a revamp and Dr Johnson Witehira was one of three artists who gave the space a Māori look through design and illustration.

"It was natural from us as the gateway to the country to include Māori design elements throughout the terminal expansion."
Witehira hopes that these designs will take travellers on their own journey through parts of the Māori world, as they wait to take their venture into the outside world......
