The Hawkduns, Wintertime IV

Known for their remote, untouched presence, the Hawkdun Ranges are rendered here with a precision that speaks to the clarity of the region’s cold, still winter days. In the foreground, hay bales and a fishing hut offer gentle reminders of human presence in an otherwise remote terrain. These elements suggest stories of resilience, solitude, and quiet industry in an otherwise untouched environment. With strong light and crisp lines, the work evokes the clarity of Central Otago’s winter air. It’s a portrait of place that balances isolation and connection, silence and subtle activity, held beneath the towering watch of the snow-dusted Hawkduns.
