| Jeffrey Harris’s paintings tell incomplete stories – they read like poems, they feel like music. The mosaic tile-like structure of Day after Day (1974) is a series of vignettes of Christ being taken to the cross, crucified and taken down. This masterful work uses sequential narrative techniques whilst utilising still-life compositional devices, the rhythms of repetition, horizontal and vertical dialogues and patterning and so the irony is that one of the most complex works of NZ art appears engagingly simple and balanced.
