2:26 Some Time

If you've always dreamed of travelling to Antarctica but think it’s a bit far to go, then take a journey out to West Auckland instead. The Corban Estate Arts Centre in Henderson is home to a new work by artist Gabby O’Connor that re-creates the Ross Ice Shelf. Called Some Time, this large-scale sculpture depicts the ice shelf at the point of collapse and is made from tissue paper and staples. Quite a lot of them, as Justin Gregory discovered when he interviewed the artist as she puts it all together.
