Past projects on Great Barrier Island

RAW local arts project

This artwork consisted of a two metre high sculpture made of stone, steel and copper and was installed on the foreshore opposite Tryphena Hall. A pohutukawa tree and a stone sat within the sphere of the sculpture to represent its clinging roots and symbolised Great Barrier Island as a world of its own due to its location away from the mainland. A group of eight island residents aged 15-25 years worked on this with artist Cynthia Macnee.
