- Experience the striking contrast of nature and structure with Michelle Bellamy’s - Big Blue Day. This artwork delivers a front-on composition that masterfully showcases the soft curves of the water alongside the intricate details of the Boulder Bank and the Inkster's bach. The bold use of blue is balanced by the warmer tones of the bach, which stands out prominently against the cool background. The hint of green in the foliage brings a touch of nature to the scene, complementing the overall composition.
The Boulder Bank (Te Taero a Kereopa) is a remarkable 13.5km spit of smooth, round boulders formed naturally by coastal currents. This unique landscape, filled with rock pools and reefs, offers a rich habitat for kingfish, snapper, blue cod, and kahawai, making it a paradise for fishermen. However, it’s not without its challenges—keep an eye out for bronze whalers, which are known to steal caught fish. With only five baches remaining along the spit after a recent fire in 2021, this barren and exposed location has become a rare and fascinating place, marked by its harsh environment and the occasional shelter provided by stunted pōhutukawa trees.
