We had the best time with Paul making the documentary Colin McCahon I Am. Paul came up with the idea of re creating Colin's journey by bicycle from Dunedin to Christchurch showing how his experience of the landscape had influenced some of his landscapes. I remember his enthusiasm, energy and passion for his work. He was such a special person and I'm very grateful for the memories of him that will remain with me.
I know what it is to stand by a loved one when they are sick , know both the pain but also the extraordinary depth of love that binds people together at this time.
Love to you Kirsten.
