Puāwai engages with the watery landscape and inhabitants of Te Awahou (Foxton), in particular, the natural wetland and township alongside the polluted Piriharkeke River Loop. Puāwai explores the confrontation and re-connection of vitality among the diverse inhabitants that have become fragmented by habitat loss. The weaving of community and whenua through a series of built structures that aspire to interact, confront, and revitalise for a healthier future.
