To view Lindsay Crooks bold and spirited paintings is to be absorbed into the fullness of New Zealand life, from early babyhood on the beach, to the floury interior of a bakery, to 150 years ago as the first European settlers made their initial footfalls. Each painting is accompanied by a written response - the artist's brother meditates on diving, rugby player Josh Kronfeld reminisces about surfing at St Clair, while poet Emma Neale muses on motherhood.
