Linden art wall collaboration with Ngāti Toa artists

Art panels now adorn two retaining walls just south of where the new motorway will connect with the existing SH1 near Linden.

If you’ve driven on SH1 near Linden recently, you may have noticed the art panels that now adorn two retaining walls just south of where the Transmission Gully motorway will connect with the existing SH1. The Corten steel panels have been designed by Ngāti Toa artists, Nathan Te Rei, Ashleigh Sagar and Rākairoa Hori.

It may appear as if they popped up by magic, but our TG elves have been busy working overnights to get the installation complete with minimum disruption to traffic.

Find out how they did it, and what the design means in this video.
