CHRIS BOOTH<\/strong>, b. 1949 Kerikeri<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After studying at Ilam School of Fine Arts, Canterbury University, New Zealand in 1967 and 1968, Booth undertook two years of specialist sculpture study with such prominent sculptors as Barbara Hepworth, Denis Mitchell and John Milne in St Ives, UK, and Quinto Ghermandi in Verona, Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris Booth works closely with the land, earth forms, and indigenous peoples of the region(s) where he creates sculpture. He has a profound interest in developing a creative language that involves communication and exchange between indigenous and colonial cultures and deeply meaningful environmental works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has participated in numerous land art projects and exhibitions internationally in the UK, Netherlands, France, Denmark, Italy, Germany, USA, Canada, Australia, Singapore and the Canary Islands. In 1982, Booth was the recipient of the Frances Hodgkins Fellowship, University of Otago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
