Bruce Hunt tussock photography

The tussock grassland is a landscape unique to Aotearoa - once covering over 30 percent of the mainland about the time of European settlement.

It's been used in innumerous paintings by Dunedin-based artist Bruce Hunt, and now in a book of his photography, simply entitled 'Tussock'.

Bruce spends his time tramping into the heart of central Otago and the Mackenzie Basin for his work, capturing its beauty but also the impact humans have had on the landscape.
