Under Construction – Chaos and Order is a new work created by Melbourne-based artist Peter Atkins for SCAPE 8. It was designed during a visit by Atkins to Christchurch, where he was struck by the number of directional signs in the city. The full-sized work, located next to The Press building in central Christchurch, is a double-sided installation, comprised of panels based on lane-management road signs, many of which are unique to the Christchurch rebuild. These have had their directional arrows removed, leaving a striking geometric pattern in the familiar reflective surface.

The maquette for sale is a scale model of the original work (7.2m x 7.2m). While the full-sized work is expected to have a two-year life-span in the public realm, the model offers an extraordinary opportunity to purchase a permanent legacy from this established and internationally recognized artist.
