About the Work
"It’s
annoying.
I
have
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
Gonville
–
but
do
I
know
where
these
arches
are?
No.
Honestly
–
does
Gonville
really
even
have
arches?
My
mind
has
been
marching
through
the
streets
trying
to
find
them,
trying
to
remember.
The
Church
–
no;
the
swimming
pool
–
no;
the
Lodge
–
I
don’t
think
so.
They
are
definitely
not
at
the
strip
mall.
Wait – are they in Tawa Street? By the Op Shop?"

The arches in this work make reference to the unusual stucco wall that surrounds a house located at 69 Tawa Street in Gonville, Whanganui.
