All visitors welcome

Last summer we made Stacked Stone Sphere on Breast Hill high above Lake Hawea. In the past year several of our mountaineering friends have visited the sculpture and reported on its slow transformation. Jo Haines was there when a New Zealand falcon (kārearea) landed on it and she captured this image.

It was made to withstand the elements long enough for us to return in winter conditions to film and photograph it for the exhibition Fragile Canvas. Clearly the sphere is beginning to tilt and become misshapen. New rocks have been contributed too by visitors and other rocks have fallen away - all part of the sculpture's transition back to the mountainside.
