This is 1 of 2 outdoor sculptures I installed this past weekend. This first one, Plastic Whau Days, was on a boardwalk footbridge through mangroves over the Whau River, for the Whau Arts Festival (@whauthepeople). Both works were in association with Whau River Catchment Trust (@whauriver) river cleanup events. The works were made with repurposed single-use plastic bags.

Tomorrow I’ll be installing my Plastic Whau Days artwork for the Whau Arts Festival. The installation involves long lengths of handmade plastic rope covering the railings of a boardwalk footbridge. It's made from repurposed, single-use plastic. Come down to the Whau River tomorrow to check out the whole work. Swipe to next image to see location map. – – #artinstallation #sculpture #artwork #plastic #festival #contemporaryart #festival #artwork #artgram#artstagram #artistsoninstagram #art

For the Whau Arts Festival, my outdoor installation down by the Whau River is happening this SATURDAY, 5th of MAY, after the festival was postponed due to severe weather last weekend. Weather outlook looking good! Swipe to next image to see exact location. The work has been handmade from repurposed, single-use plastic. Down by the Whau river, there will also be a riverside cleanup hosted by the Whau River Catchment Trust (all welcome), and blues music from Stefan. The main festival site will be just up the road at Riversdale Park, from 9am – 9pm. Check out website for the full programme (link in bio). – #contemporaryart #artinstallation #sculpture #festival #artwork #artgram #artstagram #artistsoninstagram #art #artwork
