GOLDFISH CREATIVE

This solar-powered work draws attention to the beauty that exists in nature, our coastlines and the marine life in our oceans. Strung on the wire frame are a mixture of shells and rubbish collected by Wellington’s Sustainable Coastlines. From afar, reflections can be seen shimmering, as the wind gently moves the 'scales', like sunlight bouncing of the sea.

Goldfish Creative is David Goldthorpe and Debbie Fish, a Wellington based theatre and events company. #SunScales

FLEUR STEWART

Moa were once the dominant land vertebrate in New Zealand, living throughout the islands in all vegetated habitats. Nelson artist Fleur Stewart brings this now extinct bird back to life with her project, Resurrection.

Stewart has used recycled milk bottles collected for over half a year from Red Gallery Cafe to create thousands of feathers cloaking three large Moa. Those milk bottles come from a dairy in Wangapeka, an area close to where New Zealand's largest collection of moa bones has been found. These three South Island giant moa illuminate the magnificence of this bird, and return them to their ancestral home.

Created with help from Susan Johnson, Annie Leather, Caroline Marshall, Tiaki Sharp, Amelie McClintock, Lee Woodman, Jason McCormick, Rosa Cachemaille, Millie Kearney and Carys Gwynne

NZIA NELSON ARCHITECTS

Night Fishing celebrates the eels' presence in the Queen’s Gardens by suspending a linear chandelier over a pool of light. Deep, dark and mysterious lighting effects are used to create a kind of ‘dinner party’ setting for eels.

Stephanie Phillips and Richard Sellars are curating the event for the NZIA Nelson architects, Cindy Batt is the instrument and voice musician and AV Architects are providing the light and sound expertise.
