"Burry and I - of course we were sorry not to win - were both overseas at the time and were the only internationally-located New Zealanders shortlisted " she said.
"We had the advantage of being able to access Hyde Park and do our research in situ - drawings, photographs, sight lines, traffic movement etc."
Greig says Dibble's Hyde Park work "is dignified but it expresses all the clichd attitudes of the glorified male warrior, using forms that emphasise weapons of killing".
The metal standards in their static severity are like enlarged shrapnel shards," Greig said.
"They resemble guns. They suggest phallic dominance, conquering, and - in their remorseless regularity - obedience.
"We need something different in Featherston."
Greig says the war camp site, which became the site of a prisoner of war camp for Japanese prisoners, is part of New Zealand's history.
"It seems strange to commemorate this site, as is proposed, with forms that are imitations of Dibble's earlier Hyde Park work," she said.
"An artwork that stressed imagination and exuberance, as well as creativity in the confines of a training camp, as the essence of survival, would seem more appropriate than gestures of killing".
"The thousands of New Zealanders trained here in Featherston could be honoured in a far more inspiring and original way."
