Reviews
Wellington photographer and reviewer Andy Palmer writing in Lumiere Reader:
" At first glance it [the grass is awfully green] appears to be a collection of more-or-less random images, a mix of landscapes, street photography, close ups and even nature photography. Individual photos could be read as commenting on the likes of the tourist industry, urban development, capitalism, the income gap, the rural environment, but like much of Black’s work it can be read collectively as a ‘state of the nation’."
