| Road and Rail cut off by Earthquake |
7.8 Earthquake in Kaikoura. Two minutes after midnight on 14th November 2016. I have found this week to being very unsettling. 5000 aftershocks so far in the region. Homes destroyed, people killed, land uplifted, evacuations. Buildings in Wellington need to be demolished.

In some cases the land has moved 10 meters sideways and more than 2 metres up. Lots of landslides, roads destroyed. Paua needed to be saved.

To help me through the anxiety, and the feeling of helplessnes, I needed to do "something" and put some colour on the wall. I have been working with hexigons, and the half hexi is my favourite block at the moment. This is what happened...
