Pauline Rhodes often makes her works in Horomaka Banks Peninsula where she lives, placing sculptural objects like rods or rings in the landscape, photographing the installation and then removing it to leave the environment unaltered. In this work, green rods float on the surface of a stream or creek, following the water’s direction. For Rhodes, these interventions expand our perception of space and suggest an often unrecognised ecological continuum of naturally occurring processes that sustain the whenua.
