This exhibition is a sculptural meditation on fluid dynamics. Rooted in the quiet rhythms of the Tūtaekuri River, Nigel’s work draws poetry from the everyday—the meandering walks with his dogs by the water, the rustling of the atmosphere, and the fleeting breath of wings. Through his hands, weathered driftwood is transformed into wearable art, echoing the eternal, swirling dance of wind and water.
