Wellington Writers Walk

2002 and 2004

Commissioned by the New Zealand Society of Authors

15 large-scale, three dimensional concrete text sculptures honouring
writers and poets who have strong connections with Wellington, sited
unexpectedly along the cityʼs urban waterfront – floating, suspended,
wedged in, lying on rocks as if washed up by the sea.

15 text sculptures varying in dimensions from 1 x 1m – 1.2 x 2.4m
