  • Description
  • Artist Bio
  • "Gone But Not Forgotten" prints pay homage to icons from our past that live on in our collective memories. Images real, imaginary and mythical are strangely familiar and feel like old friends. Marika has a fascination with the 'good old days' and there is a nostalgic feeling about these images that produce a warm glow. These works are all about celebrating the things we have a love of as New Zealanders, even if we haven't seen the Pink & White terraces or a Moa - we can still romanticise about them and can be proud to share a history with them.

    The industrial revolution put an end to arduous journeys via sail boat and voyages to the far edges of the world could now be enjoyed on board a glamorous steam liner. These queens of the southern seas would transport people with speed and in comfort to exotic ports in distant lands.

     

    All works printed by the artist using acid free velvet fine art paper and archival inks.

    Available in 2 sizes.

    Each print is in a series printed on the top left corner and are a limited edition of 180 prints.
