Moore Wilson’s Porirua O’Sushi Wall (2017)

Porirua O’Sushi Wall (2017)

A Japanese style painting of Mana Island by our art director Sue Dorrington, provides a stunning façade for the hole-in-the-wall food kiosk. The Porirua Moore Wilson's Sushi kiosk combines analog craft with digital fabrication.

"I wanted it to be relevant to Porirua as well as a reference to Japanese style brush work. Distant and expansive views coupled with intermittent rock pools create a sense of travel and changes of mood." - Sue Dorrington

The wall appears to be covered with hand printed tiles; However a lot of modern day technology has gone into the effective treatment. CNC routers engraved imitation tile grouting into sheets of Aluminium Composite Material (ACM), commonly used for outdoor signage and cladding. Ink Digital also provided the large scale printing capability on the ACM facade required to bring the mural to life.
