Extraordinary creative talent
Malcolm Harrison (1941-2007) was a textile artist of extraordinary creative talent, whose work has been collected by most New Zealand galleries and cultural institutions.
It is his artworks that soar above Parliament’s Galleria. The documentation of the often controversial process behind this installation is held by the Alexander Turnbull Library.
