Jude Stevens
Goldies Grove
4 March – 11 April 2026
Goldies Grove reflects on the colonial implications of Goldies Bush, with its history of mass kauri deforestation and the ongoing effects of the soil-borne pathogen, kauri dieback. The installation is made from found uku and fallen kauri. These treasured raw materials were collected and processed on the land Jude Stevens grew up on, located in Muriwai, bordering Goldies Bush. Acknowledging Te Kawerau ā Maki, the tangata whenua of Goldies Bush and Auckland’s west coast, the materials of this installation will return to the land.
