2001 acrylic on board 570 x 800mm sold

A three dimensional cut-out impression of Whakaari as seen from Pukehina Beach in the Bay of Plenty. The inner frame shows the day view, and in the lower left of the outer frame you can see Whakaari at sunset. I stayed out on the beach all day to do the drawing. Apparently it’s good news if Whakaari is smoking. It’s an active volcanic island, and as long as it is letting off steam, it’s not building up pressure to have a big blow-out.
