Object Detail
About the Work
I
was
working
towards
the
Road
to
Jerusalem
work
[2019/1/18].
The
oyster
shells
actually
came
from
under
the
bridge
at
Mangamahu
and
I
didn't
use
them
finally.
I
think
the
idea
of
a
river
sequence
sprung
from
my
memories
of
rafting
down
the
Whakatane
River
from
Ruahina
to
Te
Teko
with
my
father
+
brother.
You
got
these
solitary
huts
+
points
on
the
journey.
Whilst
I
ended
my
Jerusalem
journey
with
Hiruharama
Church
I
unified
the
final
painting
with
the
entrance
gateway
from
Koriniti
Pa.
