Gentner's work reflects the ongoing loss of Kauri trees in Te Ika a Maui (the North Island). Each installation features landscapes with different terrains. One wall presents lush forest scenes of Waiau Kauri Grove, a part of the Coromandel spared from 19th-20th century logging. The opposite wall displays minimal landscapes, with disappearing horizon lines hinting at Pārāwai harbour, where masses of logged Kauri were once transported through and where silt from the logging era still remains. Gentner's use of the sfumato painting technique adds to the narrative of the fading history of Kauri trees and their fragile future threatened by forest dieback.
