Could a sculpture converse with the land itself? Here at the Figure in Landscape by Terry Stringer at Gibbs Farm, that question hangs in the air. Gibbs Farm, a sprawling open-air sculpture park north of Auckland, isn’t your typical art gallery. It’s a place where art engages in a dialogue with the vast landscape, and Figure in Landscape is a key participant in this conversation. New Zealand businessman Alan Gibbs began curating this unique collection in 1991. He envisioned a space where large-scale sculptures could interact with the rolling hills, the Kaipara Harbour, and even the grazing emus and giraffes. Many of the works, like Stringer’s Figure in Landscape, were commissioned specifically for this environment, weaving the natural world into the artistic expression. Gibbs Farm opens to the public on select days, offering a glimpse into this remarkable fusion of art and nature. The Figure in Landscape isn’t merely placed within the landscape; it seems to emerge from it. The interplay of form and environment invites us to consider the connection between human creation and the natural world.
