Solar light art columns aid pedestrian safety and wayfinding around Cathedral Square, and during the day their bright colours add to vibrancy.
Renowned artist and carver Fayne Robinson designed two columns to mark each end of Westpac Lane. His designs represent day and night and the flora and fauna that once inhabited the city.
Local artist Tahu Robinson designed two additional columns which were installed at the southern end of Press Lane, and in north Cathedral Square.
His designs reference important Māori landscapes and cultural practices. He highlights the connections between new and old, and links from Tuahiwi to the Christ Church Cathedral.
Press Lane was established on the east side of Tūranga Central Library 
Ara Fine Arts student Grace Duval painted artworks in the laneway with input from staff at The Press, which has a long history at the site. 
Transitional artwork ‘The Grove of Intention’ was painted by Rosie Mac and Kerry Lee on a bordering wall. The artwork formed part of a global series of tree artworks that ask questions to encourage inner reflection.
