Colin McCahon set his sweeping multi-canvas work Walk (Series C) at Muriwai beach. The work is, in part, an imagined walk along the beach with the poet James K Baxter, who had died the year before. Like Baxter, McCahon wrestled with his Christian faith, and was influenced by Māori spirituality. Walk (Series C) is a meditation on a ‘walk’ common to both traditions - the journey from life to death and beyond.
From October 2013 to March 2014, the gallery featured responses to Walk (Series C) by contemporary writers, musicians, and dancers.
