Estuarine

Estuarine, which is inspired by Hobsonville Point's waterways, winds its way over and around a gabion retaining wall. The work is made of tubular baskets filled with scoria then attached to the wall. Purvis says she was thinking about the view Audrey Mills would have had of Hobsonville's sinuous waterways from the cockpit of her husband's Gipsy Moth as she leaned out to take aerial photos in the 1920s. Doug and Audrey ran Auckland's first aerial photography business from the Hobsonville airfield.
