About the artwork: 

Healing a Busy World acknowledges the return of native birds into the built environments of our cities. In this work we see Paul Dibble’s trademark use of flattened volume, references to building outlines and modern architecture interspersed by rectangular windows filled with light and hope. We also see for the first time a new rich green patina and the emblematic, symbolic sticks of healing kawakawa reclaiming the city. Plural metaphors abound; narrative messages and images of optimism emerge.

About the artist: 

Conceived by Paul and Fran Dibble in 2012, Dibble Studio works were first released in 2013 with a small suite of applied artworks. That earlier foundation of Dibble Studio culminated in, nearly two years after Paul Dibble's death, the first solo exhibition being held at Milford Galleries, Queenstown (in September 2025). Staffed by the very same technicians and as before with all foundry activity overseen by Fran Dibble, Dibble Studio continues as previously: and Paul remains in spirit.
