鈥楢n Installation鈥, which was completed in 1980, is the largest artwork in the University鈥檚 collection. Covering an area of roughly 30 x 40 meters, the work consists of a running fence in the shape of a cross, intersected by a circular steel sun or moon disc, and surrounded by an earth mound and boulder 鈥榚ggs鈥. The circle and the cross shapes were deliberately incorporated as symbols of a natural life creative force, and the strong site lines were placed to give a human scale to the area, linking the environment to the college buildings.
As with many of Johnson鈥檚 works, this piece reflects the environmental concerns of the artist. In 鈥楶lease Touch: A survey of the three dimensional arts in New Zealand鈥, Johnson said of her work that it 鈥溾ften refers to the fertility of the land, its own regenerations, its eternal aspect, 鈥榠t is there, always has been there鈥. Will it always be there?鈥
