About the Work
This
work
shows
Binney's
characteristic
graphic
and
hard-edged
style.
It
is
also
a
responce
to
environmental
concerns.
In
his
artist's
statement
for
a
1976
exhibition
called
New
Zealand
Drawing,
Binney
wrote:
'Whether
or
not
[my
work]
relates
to
any
or
some
of
the
canons
of
art
topicality
I
cannot
say,
though
I
see
nothing
inappropriate
in
offering
a
prayer
for
pure
air,
clean
water
and
growing
life
in
this
and
the
coming
century;
hence
the
act
of
drawing.'
