Manipulated by the Human Hand is an ongoing ecological study of our interaction with and transformation of the natural landscape of New Zealand as influenced by the dominant economic and anthropocentric ideologies prevalent in our contemporary culture.

The conflicts and affinities we have with the landscape are explored in this exhibition of twelve works. Industry upon the landscape has enabled us to live in the comfortable lifestyles that we do.
