The only things more impressive than his carvings were his thoughtful explanations of his work. Once back from our NZ adventure, his art lingered in our minds. Thus, we contacted him and arranged the following interview via email for our inaugural issue of Travel Diary. This interview (along with the entire contents of our Travel Diary Number 1) is available for free at our website, WePlanYourTrip.com. Just click on the following link and scroll to the bottom of the page to access the file (in both image rich and text only versions): http://www.weplanyourtrip.com/TravelDiary.html A sample of his work (more and bigger images of Eruera’s work are featured in the Travel Diary interview): Enjoy, Tiki Chris
