‘Zoom In (All Seeing Eye)’
I had just been listening to jazz saxophonist Wayne Shorter’s adventurous 1966 album “The All Seeing Eye”, when I saw ( and saw through to the building behind) the pictured glass sculpture in downtown Auckland.The sculpture zooms in to the world beyond – an all seeing eye.
Strange when two very different art forms conflate in one’s mind!
‘Lines & Windows’
…many views give perspective…
‘Wintergarden On A Spring Sunday’
‘Tamaki Drive Vista’
…sea wall, lampposts, waves,an overcast sky – at play for me as I walk by…
‘Sea Beyond Orange’
‘ Not A Skyscraper Scene’
…uneven fence palings make for Manhattan mimicry, water becomes sky…
‘A Stretch Of Clouds’
One of those perfect early autumn days where the clouds stretch across still skies, full of possibility. The scene is an iconic Auckland one, looking towards the volcanic island of Rangitoto from the mainland (at St.Heliers).
‘Reef & Volcano’
‘Seaside Scene IV’
…sit, swim, sail…
‘No View Though’
Lovely May morning by the ponds in Auckland Domain, made all the sweeter after spending a few days in hospital (right next door) and just being discharged. Felt like freedom…
Birdling’s Flat, Canterbury, NZ (March 2021)
‘Water Mosaic’
The play of light on water – a dappled, or fractured, view – depends on your mood I suppose…
‘Cutting Edge’
…slice the sky…
‘Sky Wires’
…dividing the heavens…
‘High Rise’
‘Creekside Moods’
‘Blue And Louvred’
…for the down and shuttered times that come, and must also pass…
‘ ‘Queen City’ Shrouded’
‘Chains & Water’
