In I thought I heard you crying in the forest, Green looks to the work of Eagle, and, in particular, Eagle’s 100 Shrubs and Climbers of New Zealand (first published in 1978). In this painting, Green recreates a set of 100 plants, removing one in order to create a new space between her collection and that of Eagle. Lucy Hammonds is curator at Dunedin Public Art Gallery.
