Beacons was orginally installed at SPLORE 2016 – it was initially installed in the lagoon but the night before the festival a rainstorm hit, flooding much of the crew area and completely washing out the lagoon and my work. The drums were recovered 200m along the shore and re-sited on the newly formed headland.
The work has small excerpts on the barrels that relate to the local Maori history and folklore. There are small solar lights inside.
