Critics Review
‘This is a substantial publication, in all senses, and en exquisite production designed by Inhouse. Further to recent books on fellow practitioners Paul Dibble and Greer Twiss, it represents an important record of contributions to the development of sculpture in New Zealand’ — Richard Wolfe, Art New Zealand
It is a book that reveals the inspirations, the thinking, the processes, and the way Stringer perceives his art within various environments and the writers, photographers and designers have crafted a book to have all the characteristics of the artist’s approach to creation. — John Daly-Peoples, New Zealand Arts Review
‘A no-brainer purchase as a reference text for anyone serious about New Zealand art, and a beautiful objet de virtu in its own right that anyone can appreciate’ — Andrew Paul Wood, NZ Listener
