		The Aramoana tragedy was unlike anything we had ever experienced in our own country and I imagine the settlement of Aramoana will be associated with the events of that day for a long while yet.
		Aramoana is a wonderful place, home not just to 260 people but to scores of wading birds, shags, penguins, seals, insects and most importantly no aluminium smelters.
		Driving out to Aramoana you see almost every mooring post in the harbour is a sunning point for some shag or other, there are four species of shag commonly in the harbour and one of them (the Stewart Island Shag) has two colour morphs so their is a great deal of diversity.

		A close examination of Public Submissions to the Commission for the Environment, who investigated the environmental impact of the proposed smelter, reveals that people opposed the smelter because of the effect it would have on their distinct environment, such as the reclamation of tidal flats.

		For instance, in Filter Action, Aramoana, he risks the topical Dunedin temptation to read the documented action as a conventional political protest: the too-easy inclination to look in the action for a sloganised opinion.
		Filter Action is about Aramoana; it is not about the political and ecological significance which, we suddenly realise, the place has come to have.
		What is not at all customary in his approach to the performance and the conceptual mode is that it invariably gives rise to a documentation which itself comprises subtly beautiful objects.
