His book Terrain: Travels through a deep landscape (Random House NZ 2015) takes various geologists into the back country to walk and talk amidst the evidences of Aotearoa’s own complex geology, then on through city streets with artisans who work with rock, recording how we have used rock socially. An essay by Chapple, originally commissioned to accompany Warwick Freeman's installation In Praise of Volcanoes at Objectspace in 2018 is included in the monograph that accompanies Freeman's retrospective Hook Hand Heart Star (arnoldsche Art Publishers, 2025).Warwick Freeman began making jewellery in 1972. As a prominent member of Auckland jewellery co-operative, Fingers, he was at the forefront of a rethinking of Aotearoa contemporary jewellery practice that began in the 1980s. He has exhibited internationally since that time. In 2002 he was made a Laureate by the Francoise van den Bosch Foundation based at the Stedelijk Museum. In the same year Freeman received a laureate award from the Arts Foundation of New Zealand. In 2014, Freeman co-curated the exhibition Wunderrūma, with jeweller, Karl Fritsch. Wunderrūma was presented at Galerie Handwerk in Munich, and on its return to New Zealand at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki. In 2025 he was honoured by the Designers Institute of New Zealand with a John Britten Black Pin. Freeman has also been involved in governance and curatorial activities, and his works are held in public and private collections in Aotearoa and internationally.—Coffee &amp; Croissants is a conversation series supported by our friends at Allpress Espresso and Daily Bread.
