Christchurch Gallery

A roomful of industrial-scale extrusions folded into unexpected and compelling new forms. In the crisp white cube of a gallery space, new structures emerge. Aluminium extrusions, finished with a Metwood Yakasugi coating are folded into strange new shapes, until their factory-finished uniformity gives away to something unexpected: fleeting, imperfect glimpses of the natural world. Abandoning the monumental for something more open-ended, renowned Aotearoa New Zealand artist Peter Robinson (Kāi Tahu) plays with line, form and shadow to construct a spectacular, supersized installation that visitors can walk past, around and through.
