My art work became more heavily reliant on Asian characteristics just as Carrian were
building up their sumptuous black marble headquarters along the waterfront.
I had
completed paintings for several walls and was in the process of being commissioned
to do more when the firm collapsed, quite suddenly, and in the ensuing bankruptcy all
the Carrian-owned paintings along with the silver tea service and the launch had to be
auctioned off. I recently re-discovered two of the paintings in New Zealand and a third
one in the USA. |
