00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:22.800
On the 13th of February 2023, the small, vibrant coastal community of Muturawai Beach, northwest of Auckland, New Zealand, was ripped apart by Cyclone Gabrielle.
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:28.879
This podcast captures what happened on the night and in the days, months and years that followed.
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:38.640
Join me, Mandy Jakic, as I speak to fellow Murrui locals, volunteers and those involved in the emergency and recovery effort.
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:49.920
Hear about their experiences of loss and upheaval, the impact on their lives, and the community-led initiatives that helped Murrui find a way forward.
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:52.320
Welcome to Precipice.
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.239
Meta Hay joins me in this episode.
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.920
Mede is an artist designer in Murrui Resident.
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:13.920
Her art practice explores the visualization of soundscapes, both natural and voice.
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:18.719
All of my work is really based on movement and change through time.
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:29.200
Meta talks about an artistic activation she created for the community after the Cyclone at a gathering at the Surf Club using voices of the community.
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:44.159
The method that I use to visualize sound as a way of kind of what we call an activation which allowed people to come in and just speak into a microphone and then see the beauty of their own voice projected up onto a wall.
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:52.239
The community voices soundscapes created from this collaborative activation was added to Jeff Thompson's commemorative sculpture.
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:59.439
It would be really lovely to be able to use these voice images from local people that that were affected.
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:04.319
This work was placed on one of the sides of one of the Po or pillars.
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:18.159
Meta shares the process for producing the soundscapes onto materials sourced from the homes that were to be demolished, the screen printing process, and her interest in the natural weathering of the work over time.
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.479
Hi, my name is Metahei.
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:29.199
I'm an artist that lives here in Murawai with my husband and my two kids here on Waitia.
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:41.120
And uh we've been here for about it's gotta be ten years now, and I'm part of the Murawai Artists Collective as well.
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.000
And I'm undertaking my PhD at AUT.
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:52.000
Um as an artist designer I work with visualizing soundscapes, uh usually natural soundscapes, but also voice.
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:59.039
And I create my artwork using that as kind of a little doorway into the unseen.
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:05.840
Yeah, so and just working with the senses really and how we perceive the world according to our senses.
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:17.520
And you were very involved um with creating response to the cyclone in the Murrowai community through art and through creativity.
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.639
Can you talk to us about the project that you led?
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:27.439
Uh yeah, so I think I contemplated what is it that I can contribute to this.
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:48.479
There were quite a few different activities and and came up with uh yeah, the idea of using the method that I use to visualize sound as a way of kind of what we call an activation, which allowed people to come in and just speak into a microphone and then see the beauty of their own voice projected up onto a wall.
00:03:48.800 --> 00:04:00.000
So had all ages, all kinds of people, kids coming in, having a giggle, and and just being able to see their voice, um, yeah, it was quite magical, really.
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.919
Can you talk us through the process of creating these sound images?
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:10.479
I project sound through water, and then that's filmed and was projected up onto the wall in real time.
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:15.599
So they could see it kind of pop up there as this, yeah, this kind of magic light show.
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:21.600
How did you actually set that up or communicate with the community what you were actually doing?
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:23.279
We put it all down there.
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:41.920
I think everyone set up their own little station, and I had one that was called Motowai Voices, and it was in one of the side rooms, and I just set up a microphone in my little setup, and then I have a video camera that that sort of films at the same time, it films those voice patterns as they come up through the water.
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.720
So people just came in, whole families.
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:57.600
I had someone come in that it I think it was their anniversary, and she'd written a song for her husband, but she was too emotional to sing the words, so she just hummed it into the microphone, which was really beautiful.
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:04.399
And then also people that came in from I think it was council that came in and helped as well during that event.
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:31.920
They came in, one of them it was their birthday, so we all sang happy birthday to them, and then lots of kids coming in and just screaming into the microphone, and you could tell there was all kinds of different levels of emotion and just the ability to be able to do that and then kind of be a little bit sort of distracted and amazed by just what you were seeing on the wall, and so it kind of I guess helped soften the blow, maybe a bit.
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:39.519
Were people actually um you know talking about how they were feeling in response to what had happened at all?
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:41.279
Or was it a bit more lighthearted?
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:43.279
No, it was more lighthearted than that.
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:53.519
There was no there was no you could say whatever you wanted, but people tend to just come in and try and hum and just wanted to see what does this look like?
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:56.959
And then they might come back later and say something else.
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:02.480
But it wasn't really talking about how they felt or anything like that, and that was certainly not a requirement.
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:04.959
It was just come in and have a bit of fun with this.
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:05.600
Yeah.
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.639
And what was your intention for these works?
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.199
There was no intention for it actually.
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:22.079
It was only afterwards when I kind of went and looked through the video that I'd captured and looking at all the different frames and different voices and how different they all looked.
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.639
And I thought that they were really quite beautiful.
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:34.160
And then I had an exhibition coming up at QMUArts um of some of my other work, which bit was based on natural soundscapes here in Motorwai.
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:55.600
And I thought it would be really nice to kind of honor the people of Murawai by having that be a work in itself, and so the voices were printed out anonymously on these little sheets of transparent paper and then pinned to the wall, and that kind of grew throughout the exhibition and thought that was really beautiful.
00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:05.360
A committee was formed in Muri to um work towards creating a commemorative sculpture in uh Murawai.
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:09.439
You were part of that committee, and then you also contributed to the artwork.
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:14.399
Could you tell us how that committee came together and your role within that?
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.680
And the work that you did around funding the project?
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:25.920
So I came in a little bit a little bit later than the original committee, but then just asked if there was anything I could do to help.
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:36.160
And at that time I had come across um Boosted, which is part of the Arts Foundation, and that's a platform, a fundraising platform for artists.
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:42.879
Uh you basically have to do your own fundraising if you like, but it's a good platform for people to be able to donate.
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:50.000
And so I suggested that as one of the things we could do to raise funds for the actual sculpture itself.
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:55.839
Meta also instigated a sculpture walk as part of the funding process.
00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:00.800
It was a fundraising event up at Gibbs Farm, and they were fantastic.
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:02.319
Gibbs Farm was fantastic.
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:10.800
We we managed to raise quite a bit of funds with just a day out at Gibbs Farm, and of course, that's all sculptures, and that includes some of Jeff Thompson's sculptures.
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:26.480
And Jeff was there to go around and and speak to a lot of the sculptures because he'd he'd met the artists, and so that was a really fun day out, and that was more sort of towards the end a little bit that we were able to do that, which was yeah, that was great.
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.480
So yeah, needing to run it raise the funds to make it happen.
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:31.759
Was boosted.
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:41.360
It was the the event that we had there, it was also a dinner from good from scratch, and then of course the generous donation by Motowai Arts as well.
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:46.720
So between those four, we managed to raise what we needed um to make it all happen.
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:54.639
And we raised it fairly quickly, you know, once you get a good group of people together to get it cross the line.
00:08:55.200 --> 00:09:04.799
Meta's collaborative community artwork that was created at the Surf Club was then used to be part of Jeff Thompson's commemorative sculpture in Muriwai.
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:15.759
Yeah, so we were sitting there one day just in the committee, and it was suggested that maybe there was some contribution in the way of sound, sound images, something like that.
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:17.840
And I thought of this afterwards as well.
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:29.519
I thought it would be really lovely to be able to use these voice images from local people that that were affected and and well, which we all were in some to some degree.
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:33.840
Um, and I thought, wouldn't it be fabulous to be able to create something using those?
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:45.679
And then this opportunity, and so I put that on the table saying, what about if we use some of these voices that were captured that at that event down at the surf club?
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:47.840
And everyone really liked that idea.
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:51.039
And then Jeff and I talked about how we might do that.
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:58.879
Because these were all materials that were from the um decommissioned homes, the deconstructed homes.
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:07.600
We thought it would be great if we could get them onto some of the aluminium or steel splashbacks, steel sinks, that kind of thing.
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:13.279
So that that became the substrate or the material that that I was going to use.
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:19.440
And in initially I was gonna etch into it, but steel is too hard to etch into, so that didn't work out.
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:27.279
But um basically Jeff cut all the little squares that we needed um for one panel on the sculpture.
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:33.600
He created the screen, so I gave him the images, and then he made the screens for screen printing it on.
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:39.120
And so then it was a matter of finding the right type of ink that was gonna work and stay outdoors and all of that.
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:45.840
So screen printed them on and then put a UV protective coating on them, and that was that.
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.759
And now there's a bunch of them up on one of the panels, and I think they look really beautiful.
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:59.200
So obviously stainless steel um is going to weather pretty well, but do you have any plans for making sure that it's you know in good order for the future?
00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:10.799
Well, it's quite an interesting thing with I think with public sculpture as well, is that there is a natural weathering, patining, that kind of thing of all these different materials.
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:26.320
And so, of course, the sculpture will weather with time to some degree, but of course you want it to last as long as possible, so we'll just keep an eye on it, and then if any of the pieces start to look like they're weathering, then I can easily take them off and do them again.
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:31.039
All of my work is really based on movement and change through time.
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:34.480
So everything I do is is based on that.
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:37.200
I think trying to keep things pristine.
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:53.279
Um, for one, I think it wouldn't it wouldn't fit with the rest of the sculpture, so it's probably more just about putting a new layer of coating on just to keep them, keep them somewhat, you know, it's more the images fading and that kind of thing than it is the metal changing.
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:54.960
I think the metal is fine.
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:59.440
Um so no, I like to see things change and move with time.
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:18.799
Precipice was commissioned and funded by Mudawai Community Association, supported by the Auckland Council Recovery Office.
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:27.919
Artwork by Taylor Williams, soundtrack by local Mudawai band Tin People, written in response to Cyclone Gabrielle.
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:35.279
Nam Mahi, thank you to the Mudawai community for their input and bravery and for sharing their stories.
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:37.440

And then I had an exhibition coming up at QMUArts um of some of my other work, which bit was based on natural soundscapes here in Motorwai.
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:55.600
And I thought it would be really nice to kind of honor the people of Murawai by having that be a work in itself, and so the voices were printed out anonymously on these little sheets of transparent paper and then pinned to the wall, and that kind of grew throughout the exhibition and thought that was really beautiful.
00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:05.360
A committee was formed in Muri to um work towards creating a commemorative sculpture in uh Murawai.
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:09.439
You were part of that committee, and then you also contributed to the artwork.
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:14.399
Could you tell us how that committee came together and your role within that?
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.680
And the work that you did around funding the project?
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:25.920
So I came in a little bit a little bit later than the original committee, but then just asked if there was anything I could do to help.
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:36.160
And at that time I had come across um Boosted, which is part of the Arts Foundation, and that's a platform, a fundraising platform for artists.
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:42.879
Uh you basically have to do your own fundraising if you like, but it's a good platform for people to be able to donate.
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:50.000
And so I suggested that as one of the things we could do to raise funds for the actual sculpture itself.
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:55.839
Meta also instigated a sculpture walk as part of the funding process.
00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:00.800
It was a fundraising event up at Gibbs Farm, and they were fantastic.
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:02.319
Gibbs Farm was fantastic.
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:10.800
We we managed to raise quite a bit of funds with just a day out at Gibbs Farm, and of course, that's all sculptures, and that includes some of Jeff Thompson's sculptures.
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:26.480
And Jeff was there to go around and and speak to a lot of the sculptures because he'd he'd met the artists, and so that was a really fun day out, and that was more sort of towards the end a little bit that we were able to do that, which was yeah, that was great.
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.480
So yeah, needing to run it raise the funds to make it happen.
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:31.759
Was boosted.
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:41.360
It was the the event that we had there, it was also a dinner from good from scratch, and then of course the generous donation by Motowai Arts as well.
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:46.720
So between those four, we managed to raise what we needed um to make it all happen.
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:54.639
And we raised it fairly quickly, you know, once you get a good group of people together to get it cross the line.
00:08:55.200 --> 00:09:04.799
Meta's collaborative community artwork that was created at the Surf Club was then used to be part of Jeff Thompson's commemorative sculpture in Muriwai.
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:15.759
Yeah, so we were sitting there one day just in the committee, and it was suggested that maybe there was some contribution in the way of sound, sound images, something like that.
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:17.840
And I thought of this afterwards as well.
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:29.519
I thought it would be really lovely to be able to use these voice images from local people that that were affected and and well, which we all were in some to some degree.
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:33.840
Um, and I thought, wouldn't it be fabulous to be able to create something using those?
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:45.679
And then this opportunity, and so I put that on the table saying, what about if we use some of these voices that were captured that at that event down at the surf club?
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:47.840
And everyone really liked that idea.
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:51.039
And then Jeff and I talked about how we might do that.
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:58.879
Because these were all materials that were from the um decommissioned homes, the deconstructed homes.
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:07.600
We thought it would be great if we could get them onto some of the aluminium or steel splashbacks, steel sinks, that kind of thing.
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:13.279
So that that became the substrate or the material that that I was going to use.
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:19.440
And in initially I was gonna etch into it, but steel is too hard to etch into, so that didn't work out.
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:27.279
But um basically Jeff cut all the little squares that we needed um for one panel on the sculpture.
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:33.600
He created the screen, so I gave him the images, and then he made the screens for screen printing it on.
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:39.120
And so then it was a matter of finding the right type of ink that was gonna work and stay outdoors and all of that.
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:45.840
So screen printed them on and then put a UV protective coating on them, and that was that.
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.759
And now there's a bunch of them up on one of the panels, and I think they look really beautiful.
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:59.200
So obviously stainless steel um is going to weather pretty well, but do you have any plans for making sure that it's you know in good order for the future?
00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:10.799
Well, it's quite an interesting thing with I think with public sculpture as well, is that there is a natural weathering, patining, that kind of thing of all these different materials.
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:26.320
And so, of course, the sculpture will weather with time to some degree, but of course you want it to last as long as possible, so we'll just keep an eye on it, and then if any of the pieces start to look like they're weathering, then I can easily take them off and do them again.
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:31.039
All of my work is really based on movement and change through time.
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:34.480
So everything I do is is based on that.
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:37.200
I think trying to keep things pristine.
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:53.279
Um, for one, I think it wouldn't it wouldn't fit with the rest of the sculpture, so it's probably more just about putting a new layer of coating on just to keep them, keep them somewhat, you know, it's more the images fading and that kind of thing than it is the metal changing.
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:54.960
I think the metal is fine.
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:59.440
Um so no, I like to see things change and move with time.
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:18.799
Precipice was commissioned and funded by Mudawai Community Association, supported by the Auckland Council Recovery Office.
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:27.919
Artwork by Taylor Williams, soundtrack by local Mudawai band Tin People, written in response to Cyclone Gabrielle.
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:35.279
Nam Mahi, thank you to the Mudawai community for their input and bravery and for sharing their stories.
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:37.440
And thank you for listening.
