HEADLAND 2018

Headland is about the Port Hills and Banks Peninsula, Horomaka. Walks and wanderings. Thinking about conservation and the sheer love and hard work of the locals who protect and manage the land and its beautiful birds. Our taonga. This exhibition feels like just the beginning, there is so much left to say.

Expressions and impressions of Canterbury in oils and acrylics. Thinking mountains and plains, place and time, longitude and latitude, a land thrust upwards on the edge.
