Landscape lessons: How imagining and reimagining pictures of places past could add to the impact of creative research today

His recent work has engaged with a variety of topics, such as picturing animals, images as specimen, as well as landscape, boyhood, sociality, and education in late 20^th century Ōtepoti/Dunedin and beyond. These topics and others are looked into as questions and presented in a variety of ways. Sometimes the work culminates in an exhibition, sometimes a public talk, at other times a presented conference paper. In the last five years he has also produced writing for publication in academic and non-academic journals. Current examples of this approach to art-related research include “Island/Nation”—shown in Uster, Switzerland in 2022, and “Landscape lessons: How imagining and reimagining pictures of places past could add to the impact of creative research today”—a symposium paper delivered in Kirkiriroa/Hamilton in April of 2023.
