New on the Trail | 'Te Wai Abacus', 2024 — Wanda Gillespie

Interactive, playful and layered with meaning, 'Te Wai Abacus' invites visitors to engage directly with the work and the landscape beyond it.

Part of Wanda Gillespie’s ongoing Abacus series, the sculpture explores ideas of natural systems, value, and environmental fragility. Flowing forms reference waterways across Aotearoa, reflecting on the impact of perpetual-growth economies and the vulnerability of our rivers.

Visitors are invited to move the beads and look through the work, allowing the surrounding landscape to become part of the artwork itself.

“Through these abacus works I’m interested in ideas of natural systems, value, and the environmental impacts of the perpetual-growth economies we are part of.”- Wanda Gillespie

Thinking about starting an art collection?

These newly arrived editions by Terry Stringer offer an opportunity to own a work by one of New Zealand's leading contemporary artists in an accessible format.

Night and Day (Ex Voto) rewards curiosity. Crafted from pressed copper and oil paint, the work reveals different imagery as it is viewed from alternate angles, inviting the viewer to slow down, look again, and discover something new.

Drawing on the tradition of the ex voto—an offering of gratitude or devotion—Stringer creates a work that shifts with perspective, revealing new meanings from every angle.

Edition of 10 | Third Edition
8 available

Now on view in the Brick Bay Foyer, or visit online https://www.brickbay.co.nz/collections/small-sculpture/products/terry-stringer-night-and-day

Newly installed on the Sculpture Trail: 'A Call to Restoration (Bell no. 24)' by Nicholas Duval-Smith.

Resting quietly amongst the trees, this bronze bell offers an invitation to pause, listen, and reconnect.

When activated, its resonant tone carries through the landscape, drawing attention to the space around us and the connections within it. Reflecting on themes of return — to self, to others, and to what matters most — the work creates a moment of stillness within the native bush.

As Duval-Smith hopes, A Call to Restoration may help us "slow down and recall what matters."

Now ready to be experienced on the Sculpture Trail.
