Public Works

Carving in the Auckland MotorwayJames Webster has produced a large number of works which are on public display for us all to enjoy. These fantastic pieces are scattered throughout New Zealand, some standing out against the landscape - others blending nonchalantly into their surroundings... Auckland's motorways are adorned with the welcome and familiarity of specifically Pacific designs. James designed these huge concrete panels which neatly interlink to form a spectacular belt in the modern calamity of New Zealand's largest city. Recently James completed a piece for Aberdeen School in Hamilton, the inspiration for this composition was inspired by the school’s logo.  The artwork’s triangular appearance derives from the logo shape.
