Interconnected systems

I am working on new sculptures both in the landscape and in the studio about ideas concerning intersecting and interconnected systems. This interests me because a strong point at which to influence change is where systems connect.

While camping with Philippa this week on the bank of the Arawhata River estuary on the West Coast, I was struck by the relationship of the rainforest to the constantly changing river as it rises and falls according to the rainfall in the mountains.

I believe recognising the effects of the design of human systems on interconnected natural systems is the starting point for actions for change.
