Artwork Info
Created under the guidance of renowned Nelson artist Lloyd Harwood and in collaboration with the Department of Conservation, this community-built artwork celebrates our native flora and fauna. Local creators spent two Sunday afternoons mastering professional composition, mixed-media techniques, and light art secrets to bring this vision to life. By combining custom and hand-drawn designs with paint, wood, paper, feathers, and natural products, they have built a stunning, layered "nocturnal" world. These workshops were run as part of the Make It Nelson Campaign.
