About the Work
[This
series
of]
complex
works
are
made
up
of
a
myriad
of
image
and
many
animals
can
be
found.
Sheep,
cats,
dogs,
birds
and
fish
all
collide
and
meld
into
landscapes,
dreamscapes
and
architectural
forms.
These
small
and
intimate
works
are
like
looking
through
a
keyhole
into
a
black
and
white
world
of
surreal
memories.
- Bending Hammers Introduction
Many artists at Tylee Cottage find the experience of the residency triggers off a new body of work or takes them into a new head-space and, for John, his time in Wanganui was partly documented in an extraordinary body of intricately detailed pen and ink drawings.
