The Safe series contrasts objects that seem impermeable and safe with text taken from tourist and promotional brochures that use the environment in their narrative. I made the series in the mid 1980s and it was first shown, with Fabrication, in 1989 at Real Pictures gallery in Auckland. The full series is in the collection of the Sarjeant Gallery in Whanganui. Below is a selection from the work - please click on the pictures to see the accompanying text.
