abstract: "Few New Zealand artists have sustained such a creative practice over so many years to such international acclaim. Culbert's transformation of ordinary and often discarded objects into an extraordinary "otherness" is uplifting, quite literally so in the case of the suspended sculptures he has fashioned for La Pietà. Despite its sometimes cheerful air of improvisation, nothing in Culbert's practice is gratuitous. Combining light and things with rare economy, he produces art that is austere, poetic and challenging in the way it invites us to revalue familiar things and focus our perceptions. "--Foreword.
