An exhibition of Landscape Paintings by Don Binney, Michael Illingworth, Colin McCahon, Michael Smither and Toss Woollaston.

We wanted to add our voice to the chorus of protest over the many conservation issues facing this country and late last year invited these five artists, whose territory has been the land, to contribute paintings and comments. We wanted an exhibition of landscape painting that paid homage to the land and a catalogue of comments that decried its continued destruction.
