An Art Political Statement is part of a series of works based on xerox copies of photographs courtesy of the Alexander Turnbull Library. this one being a 19th century view titled Old Port Chalmers.
They were protest pieces - with this work being Ralph's protest at the loss of his own studio and the general character of Port Chalmers during and intense period of re-development in the 1980s.
