The ‘Long View’ harks back to the 19th century when artists like Alfred Sharpe and John Kinder were making images of Auckland as a city-in-progress. One and a half centuries later, the metropolis is still making and re-making itself--and it is this process which Macpherson's photographs inhabit. A vision emerges that is at once restless, unresolved and paradoxical, yet somehow capable of moments of transcendence. (Gregory O’Brien)
