You are invited to view the work Home Ground by Paul McLachlan,
opening tomorrow night at Chambers 241 in Christchurch.
Printmaker Paul McLachlan uses digital sculpting software
to exquisitely remodel memorial sculptures of soldiers located throughout the South Island.
Through these intimate portraits of young soldiers, rendered as photo-intaglio prints,
he recaptures and revives stories of bravery, pride, nationalism and heritage.

With the centenary of WWI almost upon us,
McLachlan’s exhibition, Home Ground, seems both vital and timely:
stimulating a sense of national recognition
and encouraging an awareness of the history that has shaped us.
Home Ground is an innovative, affecting and sensitive exploration of the history of emotion
and memorialisation in New Zealand and a beautiful evocation of memory come to life.
