This episode: in episode eleven of New Artland, Samoan/Ngai Tahu artist Lonnie Hutchinson creates Peace Piece. Lonnie wanted to create a giant lei from wire and flowers to hang over a precious bridge in Christchurch, in the lead up to Anzac Day. All was going well until the harsh reality of resource consents set in. Stuck with several thousand live pansies, Hutchinson has to quickly re-think the project, roping in the district of Lyttleton, a helicopter and an entire local school.
New Artland is a New Zealand art series hosted by Chris Knox in which thirteen epic works of art are created in front of the cameras.
