About the Work
"This
is
a
development
study
of
the
actions
map
from
Matt
Pine’s
Impressions
on
Gate
Pā
(excavations)
from
1979,
which
was
realised
by
the
studio
of
Parekowhai
in
2021.
Of
the
three
actions
mapped
as
stunningly
simple
yet
effective
modes
of
communicating
the
embodied
experiences
of
life
in
the
fortification,
this
bridge
indicates
‘crawling’
at
the
famous
Bay
of
Plenty
Pā,
Pukehinahina,
or
Gate
Pā,
which
was
designed
by
Pene
Tuia
in
1864.
My
respect
and
awe
for
Pine’s
lifelong
mahi
around
spatial
poetics
has
been
expanding
as
I’ve
slowly
learned
about
and
engaged
with
his
working
drawings
in
the
Sarjeant
Te
Whare
o
Rehua
collection."
