You've Walked Past Me So Many Times (2025)

Cone in Public Space

"You’ve Walked Past Me So Many Times" is a guerrilla artwork that turned 100 abandoned road cones into NZ’s largest public art installation at Te Komititanga Square. Arranged in a grid, each cone featured a QR code linking to patronage.nz, letting visitors track its origin and return it via Google Maps. The work critiqued bureaucracy while offering a real-time tracking platform for accountability. It drew 2,500 scans and 126k impressions. Even council workers joined in, restacking the cones rather than removing them. A "Brownist rant in artsy clothing."
