The book frames and documents a series of paintings and collected associated writings
from John Reynolds’ Lost Hours project. This idiosyncratic investigation delves into the
mysterious 28-hour disappearance of Colin McCahon, a renowned New Zealand artist, in
autumn 1984. The event occurred on the eve of McCahon’s major retrospective launch at the Sydney Biennale. The project not only pays homage to McCahon but also explores themes of time, memory, and the impact of dislocation on artistic consciousness.
