Part of a series of sculptural sketches, the artist imagines her childhood playground as an urban Māori, within these wetlands that are prevalent in her research and iwi history in the Hauraki region. It challenges notions of leisure and human development within these spaces that have been lost and covered throughout Hauraki history. The language of the materials conceptualised in drawing speak and create tension with the imaginary waters, sands, and muds of the swamp.
