Reviews
‘ ... a truly magnificent collection of colour photographs, impressively large in size, capturing the richness of a sequestered territory and its isolated inhabitants, both outdoors and indoors.’ — Clarke Isaacs, Otago Daily Times;‘It's a cracker!’ — Kathryn Ryan, RNZ; ‘A thick book of astonishing photographs taken in the King Country, flicking through feels like going for a walk just after it’s stopped raining.’ — Unity Books Auckland ; ‘The pleasures of Observations are many: rusted rooves and dilapidated exteriors contrast with almost Baroque interiors; communal spaces are sites of care, joy and public rigour; intimate and revealing portraits mix it up with landscapes of a little-visited and hilly, misted terrain. The shadow of Peter McIntyre may be ever-present but, with this book, Sara McIntyre presents a King Country that is hers alone.’ — Don Abbott, Art New Zealand;

Author Information
Sara McIntyre was born in Wellington and worked as a neonatal intensive care nurse for several years. In 2010 she moved to Kākahi in the King Country, where she had been visiting with her family since 1960. While working as a district nurse, based at Taumarunui Hospital, she had the opportunity to further explore the area as a photographer. This led to her first solo exhibition at the Anna Miles Gallery in 2016. The Sarjeant Gallery, Whanganui, will exhibit her work in May 2020.
