‘Ripples’

‘Ripples’ by Neil Dawson was commissioned in 1987 to celebrate the opening of the new Waikato Museum building in Grantham St, just off Victoria St. It hung between trees on the riverbank below the museum, representing the effect of a stone thrown in the water, until removed in 2023 after it suffered irreparable damage during Cyclone Gabrielle.
