Auckland has been described as ‘not a city, but a mood swing’. Since the wilful destruction of its heritage during the 1980’s and 1990’s, the city has seen the development of tracts of low level housing scored into every available bit of land.

Paper Sunflower - nothing is permanent.

Cul-de-sac, Symonds St - faceless buildings, high windows, buried earth, desolation, isolation, apartments - the ‘apart-mentalisation’ of a city. Who do we expect will live in these conditions?

Venus, The Tub - high density urban living, vulnerability, lost identity.

Shelter - fragments of hope.
