An OTN reader has sent in two more examples of ‘tribute’ wall works by Jan van der Ploeg that again uses Gordon Walters’s signature koru motif. In response to the images they note that it is difficult to accept these works as tributes to Walters when his name doesn't appear in any of the titles and is unlikely to be known outside NZ anyway.
Fair point. We’ll swing it over from channeling to copycat.
