About the Work
“I
visited
Kai
Iwi
beach
recently,
and
while
there
I
was
trying
to
work
out
how
to
make
an
image.
A good foreground rock solved my problem! So to find this image by Denton, employing a similar rock some 90 years earlier was a lovely discovery. The moonlight presents the landscape in such a wonderful tone.” – Solomon Mortimer, ‘My Choice’ November 2021
