Ricki Hudson
Series The Kick On
Ōtoromiro Hotel, Governor’s Bay, Lyttelton Harbour
Song pairing: Perfect Day — Lou Reed
The Ōtoromiro Hotel at Governor’s Bay, caught in soft greens, silvery blues and shifting metallic light.
Part of Ricki Hudson’s eight-piece series The Kick On, Perfect Day offers a quieter moment within the unfolding Saturday. The hotel appears only in part—a sign, the edge of the building and glimpses of the surrounding landscape—capturing the way a place is often remembered through fragments rather than as a complete picture.
Paired with Perfect Day by Lou Reed, the work holds both warmth and a subtle sense of melancholy. Metallic details move with the light, while the loose, layered surface gives the scene the feeling of a memory being revisited.
Quietly nostalgic and slightly dreamlike—a place, a song and a moment you wish could last a little longer.
Acrylic, metallic paint and ink on wood 300 × 300 mm
