Art, nature and the light of the moment Light slanting through the shutters catches the roses before they drop their petals. The artwork on the wall is a metal print by Max Gimblett, in his signature quatrefoil shape. In a project called the Art of Remembrance, a church in Auckland was covered with hundreds of these little (10-inch) brass works, which were left for months to weather. They commemorated the service of NZ soldiers in WW1, as does the church on which they were hung. The church was threatened with demolition, and the artworks were sold to help fund its strengthening and restoration. We have this one, and our daughter and son also have one each. Works on canvas by Gimblett, a New Zealander who has long lived and worked in New York, command very high prices. It was great to have access to this limited edition of prints with its special associations.
