This installation is a self-portrait made up of 100s of things found on the streets that I have walked on in my life. The start of the installation is things I collected when I was a child, mainly in Helensville (where I grew up) and the surrounding areas. This then flows into the things that I have found as an adult living in Wellington. The tail end of the piece are things that people have found on the street and given to me. The installation takes its form from the Kaipara River that runs through the centre of Helensville. I moved to Wellington 3 years ago to study Arts Management, and although I really love living here, no matter how long I stay I will never have the same connection to it that I do to Helensville.
