This work references the Island of Matariki, situated off shore from Cosy Nook, along the windswept coast between Invercargill and Tuatapere, Southland. It is a vision of sorts where the bush has been replaced with concrete and cubist fragments. Old Man Rock and a large bowl have been shifted on.

A featured influence is the concrete and posts from our lifestyle block by the sea while the woman is a mysterious guardian. Such works grew out of the large lettering and cubism inspired by McCahon, but with a pictorial treatment - Nigel Brown
