Four large 2400 x 2400cm paintings were commissioned by Sky City in Auckland. The completed work, number three in the series, is featured on page 79 Robert Ellis, Ron Sang Publications, with explanatory texts. The preliminary working drawing gives a clear idea of the proposed painting, several minor modifications were later introduced to enhance the initial concept.

International Art Centre thanks Robert Ellis for his assistance in cataloguing these two works
