Estuary Artworks Prize, New Zealand

Recently on a trip to New Zealand I was taken to the Estuary Artworks an exhibition hosted annually by the Uxbridge Creative Centre, focused on conservation and environmental awareness. I was pleasantly suprised to see that the works were not only conceptually interesting but the quality of the pieces was a lot higher than I expected out of a small regional gallery in NZ. Though conservation is a theme done to death, the participating artists and curators had obviously made a conscious effort to showcase contemporary pieces with a range of different approaches and ideas. Here are some shots of the pieces I found interesting, a list of the artists involved follows.
