Hamish Keith interviews Fomison, an engaging but diffident subject whose dark, brooding works are 'illustrations of dreams'. Keith then explores Clairmont's bohemian abode in Mt Eden, a house filled with objects that inspired his dense, hallucinatory images.

These two films are from TVNZ's Profiles series, made in the early 1980s, which looked at prominent painters and sculptors. It was made (in association with the Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council) by Bruce Morrison and used art critic and historian Hamish Keith as a technical advisor. Morrison’s camera captures the artists at work and reviewing their careers and notable works, and he allows them to tell their stories entirely in their own words without the presence of onscreen interviewer or voiceover commentary.
