The works on show in LOOKING EYES are the result of an Education workshop titled ‘Flora
and Native’ that was offered to schools in Term 1 2009. Works were created in the gallery and
in the Botanic Gardens by four participating primary schools – Merrin, Wairakei, Roydvale
and St Teresa’s from Years 1/2 and 3.
Land Art itself is often created for just a few moments of viewing before nature takes its natural
course. Pieces that evolve naturally are often documented in photography in order to capture
that special moment, gone within the next.
