Lot 7: Haru Sameshima Forest hand painted, gold toned

Haru Sameshima Forest hand painted, gold toned gelatin silver print from a 5/4 negative signed and dated '98 verso 590mm x 490mm When Haru Sameshima immigrated to New Zealand in his early teens, New Zealand was a 9 to 5, Monday to Friday society. In the perfect position to monitor the arrival of postmodern and its influences, he has been accumulating images which tend to emphasise the artificial and the constructed, when compared to the natural in the New Zealand landscape. Haru Sameshima is represented by McNamara, Wanganui. EF
