I had the honour of meeting this great man at his home in mid-winter of 2014. My friend Fabiola Haru and I visited on the solstice so that we could dig his garden together. After a yum cha lunch Guy toured us through his richly appointed home, his studios, his gardens. For many years his eye on the world had intrigued me and overlapped with mine. I experienced a profound connection seeing his work and was always to triggered to slow down and take in the visual messages. His work inhabits many public spaces, he was a prolific artist. He was a genuine man. A year on since his death and five years since meeting him I have come home inspired from an exhibition of his work at The Dowse Art Museum. It is mid-winter again now and time to meditate on the new year ahead, the increasing light and the opportunities to connect life and work together. They are not separate. Guy proved this every day.
