Notes
A contemporary history of stone, bone and jade (greenstone, pounamu) artists in New Zealand, with introductions by artists Donn Salt and Owen Mapp. Each artist discusses their work and inspiration and a representative selection of their work is given in full colour. Carving is a popular art form in New Zealand with a tradition of centuries of Maori and Polynesian carving, combined with more recent European and Asian influences. This has meant a rich and diverse output reflecting the forms and styles of the artworks in New Zealand today. Stone, Bone & Jade continues to fill an important gap in recording New Zealand's arts and crafts scene.
