Big Wave Territory, by John Reynolds, 2011

Located at the Port Taranaki gateway to New Plymouth's Coastal Walkway, the work celebrates Taranaki's rich cultural landscape, directing passing pedestrians and port car park traffic to various local and regional destinations – the mountain, Paritutu Rock and Sugar Loaf Island, SPOT X and The Forgotten World Highway. Using Waka Kotahi’s road design format and materials, the high reflection sign also provides cultural points of departure, including artistic legacies, such as the writing of celebrated local author Ronald Hugh Morrieson and Len Lye's kinetic sculpture. | Ocean View Parade, New Plymouth, New Zealand | Get Directions
