The last ten years of back-breaking work creating large-scale, public artworks is documented in a new book about one of our best known sculptors, Paul Dibble.
A Decade of Sculpture 2010-2020, published by Bateman, is the third book Paul's wife Fran has written about his art, and the thought and physical processes that go into making it.
Lynn Freeman spoke to Paul Dibble at his studio in Palmerston North, where he says he's currently trying things out with a new work in progress.
