Abstract
Constructing Scape explores our relationship with nature, focusing on the interaction of nature and culture within the construct of landscape. Utilising New Zealand landscape as a frame of reference, this research considers the construct of landscape and questions the position of culture within it. Speaking from a metaphorical position, incorporating notions of scale and materiality, sculptural works are constructed with the intent of a passage through scape, invoking an awareness of our experience with landscape.
