Lawrence Jones

During 1993 to 1994 Lawrence Jones and Lloyd Godman worked collaboratively on the
Mythology of Place.  They retraced the words of one of New Zealand's most acknowledged poets, James K Baxter, searching for artifacts that referenced real places, places where the youthful Baxter's naked feet once trod, places that remained with him until the bare foot days before his death.


From their research, Jones contributed a text Mythology of Place, that supported the idea of Baxter's three Otago World's and Godman a series  photographs Homage to Baxter, that referenced the images in Baxter's poetry. Together they offer an insight into the Otago world's of James K Baxter
