The Martin Hill sculpture What is Life commissioned to express the theme of Pouwhenua, or Markers on the Land, has found a permanent home in the foyer of the Lake Wanaka Centre. The work uses tensegrity – one of nature’s universal designs – and is a response to Hill’s concern with ecological sustainability.

In conjunction with the Pouwhenua project, Markers on the Land for the Wanaka Festival of Colour, Martin exhibited art prints of recent sculpture works alongside the works of Simon Kaan, Michael Tuffery and Areta Wilkinson who were the invited artists in the weeklong project.
