These mediums are used to create striking portraits and figure studies which are meticulously crafted and show an empathy and engagement with his models. He explores ideals of beauty and form, and is modern in the gesture and expressionist modelling in his works. Harrison is represented in private and public collections in New Zealand and Australia.
