Info

A large-scale digital print installation on the old Chancery Arcade building which sits in the foreground of the Government Life building. The artwork mirrors the building that once housed the artist's old studio. The idea of suspension and reflection is an attempt to hold up and enjoy a significant Christchurch building before it is also destroyed.
