Andrew Hill has lived in Te Anau for the past 14 years and his explorations of Fiordland’s wilderness have heavily inspired his artistic creations.
These will be on display in his latest exhibition at the Quadrant Gallery.
It featured traditional Korean moon jars, among other works and will open for viewing from 4.30pm.
The work displayed was inspired by Fiordland National Park, Hill said.
"It goes from looking at the fiords to the forests.
"It looks at things people don’t usually see. Like the lichen, the moss and the rocks."
The creation of the moon jars had been a difficult one for him, but they were great to play around with and made for a worthwhile exercise, he said.
"It’s been really nice throwing things for a change. I normally make sculptural work, so this is the first time I’ve actually done throwing for about 20 years."
He hailed from Farnham in the United Kingdom and had set up an art studio in Te Anau which he worked from.
"It’s really unusual for anything to come out of Fiordland other than deer heads."
