Interwoven: A mural celebrating the stories of Pito One

Artist: Colleen Pugh 

Location: Hutt Road, Petone (near the roundabout) 

Interwoven is a mural that welcomes people to Pito One (Petone) and the Hutt Valley. Inspired by the area's coastline, river, industry, and long history of arrivals and journeys, the artwork reflects the many stories that have shaped this place. 

The mural weaves together local motifs including tuna (eel), kahawai, waka hourua, textile references, seabirds, and other symbols drawn from the natural environment and the community's history. 

A subtle nod to the area's industrial heritage appears as a biscuit, recalling the iconic Griffin's factory that was part of the Petone landscape for generations. Together, these elements represent movement, connection, resilience, and a sense of belonging. 

Viewed as a weave of many threads and many stories, Interwoven celebrates the people, places, and journeys that continue to shape Pito One today. 

Interwoven was commissioned as part of our Petone District Regulator Station (DRS) project in October 2026, which involved upgrading an important piece of infrastructure that helps deliver gas to homes and businesses across the Hutt Valley.
