The fusion of modernist architecture and contemporary religious art.

WINNER OF THE JUDITH BINNEY PRIZE FOR A BEST FIRST WORK OF ILLUSTRATED NON-FICTION AT THE OCKHAM NEW ZEALAND BOOK AWARDS 2022. 

A significant book that unveils the collaboration between architect James Hackshaw, painter Colin McCahon, and sculptor Paul Dibble on twelve New Zealand buildings. Using interviews with Hackshaw and the McCahon archives, it sheds light on this lesser-known collaboration. The book is richly illustrated with plans, drawings, letters, and contemporary images, complemented by expert essays by Peter Simpson, Julia Gatley, Christopher Dudman, Peter Shaw and Alexa Johnston, providing a comprehensive exploration of their work.

Handling & Care

A2 and larger prints, as well as hand-painted artworks, are shipped in sturdy, high-quality art tubes. Each piece is thoroughly checked and securely packed before it leaves our studio. 

When opening your tube, please take extra care—prints can be delicate. We recommend taking your artwork straight to your framer and letting them handle it for the best results.

Once your artwork is in your hands, we can’t take responsibility for any damage caused during handling.
