	The Sculpture Fields was the site of massive carving projects for the city of Metru Nui. It is a large, open expanse, long since bleached by the sun, so that it resembles a desert. The [[Po-Matoran]] long ago realized that such a space would suit their purposes. Huge blocks of [[Protodermis#Solid Protodermis\|Solid Protodermis]] were brought here, mostly transported on flatboats along [[Protodermis Canals]]. These blocks were worked on by skilled [[Carver]]s, sometimes for as long as weeks or months on one statue. On any given day, armies of workers labored in the Fields, stopping for only two circumstances: quitting time or the appearance of a dangerous [[~~Fauna\|~~Rahi]] like a [[Tunneler]].

The '''Sculpture Fields''' was an area of [[Po-Metru]].

== History ==
The Sculpture Fields was the site of massive carving projects for the city of Metru Nui. It is a large, open expanse, long since bleached by the sun, so that it resembles a desert. The [[Po-Matoran]] long ago realized that such a space would suit their purposes. Huge blocks of [[Protodermis#Solid Protodermis|Solid Protodermis]] were brought here, mostly transported on flatboats along [[Protodermis Canals]]. These blocks were worked on by skilled [[Carver]]s, sometimes for as long as weeks or months on one statue. On any given day, armies of workers labored in the Fields, stopping for only two circumstances: quitting time or the appearance of a dangerous [[Fauna|Rahi]] like a [[Tunneler]].

When work is done for the day, wild herds of [[Kikanalo]] sweep through, digging up any left-over pieces of Solid Protodermis for later recycling. The expanse is littered with unfinished huge statues and towers, which dominate the horizon like mesas. Years of tilling the soil for scraps of Solid Protodermis led to portions of the Fields becoming unstable. Statues built there sank into the ground, and even walking across the area could be treacherous. [[Toa]] [[Onewa]] discovered that using his [[Proto Pitons]] to swing from one statue to another was the fastest way to travel across the Sculpture Fields.

Prior to the [[Great Cataclysm]], [[Matoran]] could take a tour of the Fields (with the permission of [[Turaga]] [[Dume]]) that showcased the entire building process. Two tours were available. The first featured a solid block of Protodermis being delivered and carved into a statue. On [[Naming Day]]s, Matoran could have life-size sculptures of themselves made on this tour. The second tour involved shipments of parts from [[Ta-Metru]] and visiting one of the [[Assembler's Villages]] to see the parts turned into a piece of furniture or other item of use.

When Onewa was searching for [[Ahkmou]], the Sculpture Fields were where the Toa first tracked down the missing Matoran, hiding on top of one of the sculptures. Later, Onewa was forced to traverse an unstable area of the Fields in order to gain access to Chute Station 445 nearby.

The Sculpture Fields were largely undamaged by the earthquake caused by the Great Cataclysm, as the area was not very built up in the first place. It is unknown if the {{p|Visorak|Rahi}} occupation of Metru Nui had any lasting effect on the Fields. However, any damage sustained to the area has since been repaired by the use of the [[Staff of Artakha]].

When [[Teridax]] was killed in the [[Battle of Bara Magna]], the Sculpture Fields were severely damaged, and the Matoran evacuated to [[Spherus Magna]]. Later, the Sculpture Fields, along with all other locations in the [[Matoran Universe]], were dismantled.{{GregCitation|OGQ|page=4|post=130|lines=7,18}}{{GregCitation|CwGF|page=426|post=10878435}}
