Oakley Creek / Te Auaunga Awa is one of Auckland’s longest urban streams, flowing from Hillsborough through Mt Roskill, Owairaka and Waterview to the Waitematā Harbour. The creek’s rich Māori and European heritage and abundance of native and exotic flora and fauna makes it an important natural asset.
In this series, photographer Tony Nyberg documents the environmental and cultural changes of the creek and its surrounds throughout the seasons, over a three-year period. Tony’s attentiveness to this local ecology over several years highlights the richness of life around this urban waterway.
Join the Friends of Oakley Creek for a guided walk along a section of Oakley Creek / Te Auaunga Awa. Book Here.

The photographic portrait has often been seen as a way of revealing the true identity of the sitter and photographers have been commended for their ability to capture the inner character of the subject. However contemporary photographic portraiture does not strive for this moment of truth. Instead it advances the notion that it is no longer, and maybe never was, attainable.
Featuring the work of seven established and emerging Auckland artists in an ambiguous set of images.
Ziggy Bond, Christine Jeffs, Kim Lu, Timothy Mackrell, Saynab Muse, Yvonne Shaw and Christopher Young.

Deceased Estate (2023) invites us to “move into” a space not entirely our own; vacated family homes, mysterious rental properties, storied shared flats, or one’s first home. These works speak to the precarity of an object’s value, and how legacies can persist unseen in the “stuff” we inherit.
