He trained as a painter in the 1950s at the Canterbury University School of Art in New Zealand and gained a scholarship to the Royal College of Art in London in 1957. In the 1960s he began to experiment with light and movement, and since the 1970s his art has encompassed photography, electric light, and found objects His site-specific exhibition, Front Door Bill Culbert, HUT, Made in Christchurch (2012), Sue Crockford Gallery, Auckland, 2012.

With tape, Erica Duthie and Straun Ashby redefine the world as their canvas and take inspiration from the life they are amidst. Tape Art have co-created over 250 murals internationally. From huge civic works for festivals and events, to development work connecting communities, to intimate vignettes in hospitals. Public art team Erica and Struan transform the sides of buildings with their whimsical murals. These artists create intense performances that are drawn live, evolving and changing in discussion together and with passers-by. "Look mum – did you see the baby is floating?!" "Hey – there is someone being drawn in the mural now." "I wonder what they are going to be drawn doing?" – common comments to be heard in front of tape art murals. Hands-on and inclusive, these artists celebrate the process of making art and welcome people to become involved in their unfolding murals. Audiences are invited to share ideas of where their story could go next. People are also invited to be drawn in quick portraits, so that they can be literally in these temporary tape art worlds. So aunties become sea captains aboard giant kites (on the front of Te Papa) and kids get to ride giant bugs (on the Dowse Art Museum). www.tapeart-nz.com Above: "Carnivale" 2009.
