About the Work
“This
unfinished
painting
by
Edith
Collier
appeals
because
of
its
bright
refreshing
colours.
I
first
saw
it
when
it
was
displayed
in
the
Sarjeant
Gallery
at
Pukenamu
Queen’s
Park.
For
me,
the
unfinished
state
adds
to
its
intrigue
and
I
find
it
an
appealing
and
evocative
work.
I
made
a
drawing
of
this
work
that
resulted
in
an
etching
I
was
pleased
with,
and
Edith
Collier’s
painting
of
the
girl
in
a
hammock
remains
one
of
her
works
that
I
always
remember
fondly.
This
painting
has
been
included
because
its
bright
colours
and
intriguing
composition
appeal
to
me,
as
do
Collier’s
stronger
Kawhia
paintings.”
