This work references the evolution of introductions to New Zealand (plants, animals, language, design, cultural traditions). New Zealand today has one of the greatest ethnic diversities of all countries in the world. The Queen's Gardens reflects diversity, with its mix of Mahitahi ox-bow lake eel pond, Victorian garden design, Chinese garden design, plant species from all corners of the globe – and for Light Nelson, decorations of digital technology. What mix of culture, fashion and technology will determine its future?

A family of elongated diaphanous and transparent forms suspended above the Ox-bow pond in the Queen’s Gardens, that rotate, sway, tremble and oscillate with the displacement of air. In sunlight they are luminous, refracting rainbow-coloured light; by night they become mysterious, ethereal forms, mirrored in the black pond below.

Inspired by the forthcoming Year of the Horse, this roaming installation is a union of the ancient and modern – the horse that used to walk the paths unfettered and the bicycle that is the mode of free travel today and tomorrow, a means to navigate the mean streets of the urban jungle moving faster than the fossil fuelled cars that sit and belch their noxious fumes.
