Ko te ‘1984 No. 9’ a Hōtere he whakahē i te toro mai a ngā kaipuke pahū karihi o Amerika ki Aotearoa. Ko tā te Christchurch Art Gallery mō te mahi peita: ‘I whakamahia e Hōtere te papa maitai waikura-kore kua rarakuhia hei tohu i te kōtua me te mārō hītararī o ngā hangarau o te wakataua, ko tā te taitapa hiwi me te pepa kua āta hunuhunutia he tohu i te kōpīpī o te taiao māori me te pākaha o ngā whakatau tōrangapū. Ko tā te pou tūmāro i te pokapū o te mahi e tohu ana pea i tētahi karu tororunga, i te pana rānei o te pakūtanga o tētahi pere kua “mukua ki te rīpeka” e te ringatoi.’
