Abstract

This outdoor exhibition at the Waitakaruru Sculpture Park, Hamilton, was curated by Sarah Anderson. Various artists were in this show, including Gregor Kregar, Christian Nicholson, John Ione, Duncan Sargent and Grant Palliser. The works by Gareth Williams belong to a series of work that explore instances of vernacular architecture as they appear in the New Zealand landscape. They examine the relationships between designed and non-designed architectural elements in the landscape and also consider human needs and social practices. These works explore structures that relate to various types of recreational architecture. They are quotations from existing sites referred to in their titles.
