2004 / A series of cast-iron, numerical markers inserted into the footpath along Wellington’s waterfront, for 6.5km at 500m intervals. They are marked out along the city’s waterfront, for walkers, joggers, kids, heart patients, and anyone obsessed by numbers. I wanted to keep the markers uncluttered by any other information, even the unit of distance – once understood, forever understood. While I was commissioned by Wellington City Council to make this work, in collaboration with the Heart Foundation, my oblique objective was to encourage people to observe the numerical form, to find beauty in its familiarity.
