Initially the children involved in this artwork prioritised the hydroslide above all\u2026\u2026. but as the work developed other ideas crept in. The kiwi became their spokesperson and encouraged by Cilla McQueen different language models emerged and the dialogue became poetic and cheeky and matched the drawings and became whole. The process was fluid to allow for this ongoing development but required careful oversight and orchestration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/?attachment_id=1677\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1677\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1677\" src=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_20250428_1225403886420133018507704-246x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"384\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_20250428_1225403886420133018507704-246x300.jpg 246w, https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_20250428_1225403886420133018507704-838x1024.jpg 838w, https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_20250428_1225403886420133018507704-768x938.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_20250428_1225403886420133018507704.jpg 982w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The culture of this EnrichILT school and its supportive staff allowed these changing processes to take place and being artist in residence for a month enabled continuity and time for this growth to reach fruition.

Funding was sought and gained from Community Trust of Southland, Gore District Creative Communities and Southland District Council. Dongwha Patinna NZ donated the wood for the circles and the Gore Woodworkers donated their time to cut out over 600 circles in varying sizes. Other materials were sourced from the schools and their communities to keep costs down. Hokonui Runanga offered their support as the umbrella organization.<\/p>\n<p>Cathi Knowles coordinated with the 21 schools involved who with their communities eagerly got behind and supported the project.The schools were: Garston School, Lumsden School, Waikaia School, Balfour School, Riversdale School , Otama School, Waikaka School, Knapdale School, Willowbank School, East Gore School, Gore Main School, St Mary\u2019s School, Longford Intermediate School, West Gore School, Mataura School, Tuturau School, Wyndham School, Edendale School, Glenham School, Tokanui School &amp; Gorge Road School. Janet began working with the first school Mataura Primary school in May 2013 and finished at the last school Willowbank in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>The project was initially exhibited for 3 months at Croydon Heritage Aviation Museum at Mandeville where it was officially opened by Hokonui Runanga and Bill English. It attracted a great deal of interest both locally (many schools visited) and from further afield.<\/p>\n<p>These are some photos of the exhibition.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_0984.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-561\" title=\"IMG_0984\" src=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_0984-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"486\" height=\"486\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_0981.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-558\" title=\"IMG_0981\" src=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_0981-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"490\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_0995.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-565\" title=\"IMG_0995\" src=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_0995-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"490\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_0982.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-559\" title=\"IMG_0982\" src=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_0982-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"490\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_09521.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-554\" title=\"IMG_0952\" src=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_09521-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"489\" height=\"489\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_0906.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-550\" title=\"IMG_0906\" src=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_0906-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"489\" height=\"489\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_0913.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-552\" title=\"IMG_0913\" src=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_0913-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"489\" height=\"489\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_0973.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-556\" title=\"IMG_0973\" src=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_0973-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"490\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_0918.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-551\" title=\"IMG_0918\" src=\"https:\/\/www.janetdewagt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_0918-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"487\" height=\"487\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h1><strong>The Mataura River Project<\/strong><\/h1>\n<address>Southland Schools<\/address>\n<address>27 May 2013<\/address>\n<p>Like all really amazing projects it began with a great local idea, embraced and supported by the wider community!\u00a0 In all nineteen schools and their communities will participate in this project.\u00a0 I have just completed Term 2 working with 6 creative schools situated close to the mighty Mataura River.\u00a0 I began the project on 27 May, fittingly at Mataura school.
