Frames Of Reference

From observation and interaction come questions about our impact on the land.
Bennett’s frames are: -
‍
- Parts of a sequence (1970's)
- Surroundings, mounts or supports (1980's)
- Structures on the land (1990's)
- References eg. contexts, perspectives (2000's)
- Formulation of concepts (2010's)
‍
Here structures on the land frame the sea, sky and horizon.
Sea/Sky/Stone – a temporary installation prompts a significant body of work and culminates in a major commission Sea/Sky/Kaipara

Sea/Sky/Stone – a temporary installation on Te Taero a Kereopa / Te Tahuna a Tama-i-ea, the Nelson Boulder Bank, in place for 60 days was timed to coincide with, and capture, the rising sun of the 1991 winter solstice. Sea/Sky/Stone was aligned with Aotearoa’s southwest to northeast trajectory on the Earth. Sea/Sky/Stone – prompted a significant body of work and culminated in a major commission Sea/Sky/Kaipara The Farm, Alan Gibbs sculpture park in Kaipara Harbour.
