Juliet Peter Arthur's Pass Ski Hut
This cosy, jam-packed view of a high country ski hut vividly captures a sense of alpine activity – from wooden skis and spiked leather boots to socks drying between tea towels and a trusty Thermos, ready on the table. Juliet Peter remembered Shurrock fondly, describing him as a “marvellous man” and her “best ever teacher”. She was studying painting rather than sculpture, but recalled spending a lot of her time in the modelling room where “instead of attempting to teach sculpture, [Shurrock] provided for his students by talking to them and broadening their minds – blowing their minds, that was the term”.
(Dear Shurrie: Francis Shurrock and his contemporaries, 8 March – 13 July 2025)
