“I wanted to create an energetic, engaging illustration that captured the essence of Wellington, the Wairarapa, and the spirit of our place and people, incorporating the sights you’ll see along the way,” says Chris. “It’s a journey from the city to country, starting with a coffee and finishing with a Wairarapa wine. I’ve used a ribbon of road to portray the journey and link the various elements.”
Chris says it’s a great feeling knowing visitors from all around the world will be looking at his distinctive artwork and he enjoyed working with Tranzit on this project.
“I always aim to create something that connects with people, so a potential global audience is a great test of that,” he says.
“Tranzit was a pleasure to work with. Right form the get go Tessa and the team had a vision to create a statement piece. They gave me plenty of scope to create something exciting and unique … the perfect client!”

Flaxes do take a while to clump up and this one has done that.
It is growing in a copper and the buyer would need to remove it from the copper as it will take a bit of grunt. ( I have other plans for the copper and it doesn't come with the plant)
It should come out without too much trouble, as the copper sides flair slightly wider to the top. If I soak it well before its removal that could help.
It should transplant well.
Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
