I Saw – Te Hikoi Museum Exhibition
Created for the Te Hikoi Museum exhibition, “I Saw” is a black and white ink drawing inspired by archival artifacts of Fiordland’s logging past. A vintage saw slices into a wood round, revealing growth rings. From it emerges native bush with a pipe-smoking figure—a haunting tribute to the loggers and landscapes of another time.
