This stoneware piece by local artist Margaret Ryley conveys the colour and movement of the windswept Waitaha Canterbury landscape.
In Strataform I, Ryley has used barium copper to create a streak of blue that evokes the layers of sea and rock that make up the Ōnawe Peninsula in Akaroa Harbour. Both works reference the impact of droughts on the Waitaha landscape.
