Kangaroo Paw

My house was built in the 30's mostly of Rimu and Matai and fibrous plaster. It has some structures such as the alcove in this image which probably has a name. The Kangaroo Paw flowers I bought here in New Plymouth.

Magnetic Attraction

At home here in my studio in New Plymouth I have lots of magnets and iron filings to play with.

Holy Goldfish

Several years ago, in Bali, I saw these giant goldfish gathered in a pool created by a sacred spring. It seemed to me a remarkable place.
I've clung to this picture, there's something about the motion that speaks to me, calls my name, one could say. Puts its hand up. The swimming draws me in.

P.S. A print of this sold at the Auckland Art Fair last night. That was uplifting news.
