Ku Bailey was born, raised and still lives in West Auckland. From a lifetime as a "Westie", Ku knows how wild the west coast beaches can be, but also knows that when an easterly wind blows that they can also be serene and tame.

Sewn into the fabric by the artist is the following text:

Waitakere Ranges Kainga (Home)
West rugged ranges sun sets
Wind swept beach
To sense the sacred
To-day she sleeps

Kia ora
Ku
