Hall s artwork is designed to be participatory. They change depending on where the viewer stands. The artists have appreciated the other s work over many years and decided Te Ramaroa (Light Nelson) was an opportunity to present a light installation together exploring the ephemeral qualities of life. Hall says her moulded artworks are participatory as viewers can place their hands amongst their layers and observe how the artworks change. The pieces and their forms also change depending on where you stand to view them.
None of the visionaries that dreamed of a picture gallery for the people of Nelson got to witness its opening, but I imagine that they would be so proud to see the Gallery today, the regard it’s held in, the high level of visitors and its continuing educational function.
