Tokens From the Game

Sitting in Todd Triangle in New Lynn, these brick sculptures are playful representations of children's board game pieces in giant proportions. They also help to prove the artist's idea that anything can be made of brick. New Lynn has a long association with brick and ceramic, due to the high quality clay deposits in the area. It was home to the popular Crown Lynn Potteries Limited, a highly successful New Zealand company whose products were in virtually every New Zealand home, and exported to the United States, Australia and Canada.

The oversized pieces are a camera, a dodgem, a bell and a tent, all placed in random formation to encourage the playful exploration of this green space.

The works were originally exhibited at Corban Estate Arts Centre, before being purchased by the former Waitākere City Council for the upgrade of Todd Triangle.

At the other end of Totara Avenue is Lange's sculptural seat Brick, a celebration of New Lynn's brick industry.
