A Hammer and a Camera: The Art of Peter Felix Muller by Leonardo Magri - Coromind Issue 42, 2026
When you talk to Peter Felix Muller, you get the sense that he’s never been in a rush. That’s not to say he hasn’t achieved a lot – he’s done plenty. But his approach to art, whether it’s behind a camera or at the jeweller’s bench, has always been more about flow than force.www.coromind.nz

Goat Control – Brought to you by the Department of Conservation (DOC) - Coromind Issue 42, 2026
Walk through a healthy Coromandel forest and you’ll notice the understorey thriving, young seedlings emerging, ferns unfurling, and shrubs providing food and shelter for native wildlife. One of the biggest pressures on this vital layer of the forest comes from wild goats, which can strip vegetation and hinder regeneration.

Featured Artist – John Quellin - Coromind Issue 41, 2026

From Cape Cod Shores to Coromandel Sands Series: Red Roses and Red Tape in NZ by Hilary Emerson Lay - Coromind Issue 41, 2026
To date, I’ve spent $9,204 NZD on visas alone. I still have another $315 to go when I apply for Permanent Residency in 2027, and $560 more if I decide to go for NZ citizenship in 2032. I knew it would be expensive, but it ended up being about $4,000 more than I’d expected, thanks to both an extra, unexpected medical exam and Immigration nearly doubling its fees – with very little warning – in Octo
Wondering in Waikino: The Visitor by Amir Yussof - Coromind Issue 41, 2026
I was exhausted, but I couldn't fall asleep. I tried meditating, which usually does the trick, but not this time. The day's challenges and residual issues still pervaded me.

Layer by Layer - An Intuitive Art Practice with Lisa Stent - Coromind Issue 41, 2026
My art studio is my happy place, full of light, colour and music. It’s where I feel most myself. Sometimes I enter with a vague plan, sometimes with no plan at all. Often it’s just the music that takes me on a journey as I paint. The fun is seeing what evolves … or sometimes what doesn’t.www.coromind.nz

Behind the Stuff We Throw Away - Wāhi Tukurua by Tracey Bell - Coromind Issue 41, 2026
Behind every discarded item is a choice made weeks, months, or years earlier. A bargain that didn’t last. A quick purchase that became clutter. Multiply that across thousands of households, and the scale becomes overwhelming – for communities, for the environment, and for the people tasked with managing it all.www.coromind.nz

Guest Editorial – Sharyn Morcom - Coromind Issue 40, 2026
In recent years many magazines and community newspapers have folded their pages for the last time and closed the doors. Metro magazine, which existed since the 1980s, is one of the most recent to depart from a printed format and exist only in the digital world. And with all this in mind I believe the team behind Coromind must be applauded and admired. They have changed the model and as a result t

A Long Way to the Pinnacles by Rachael Mayne - Coromind Issue 40, 2026
I don’t know anyone who would willingly do what that rat did – take such foolish risks – but the irony wasn’t lost on me as I set off alone in the dark, on day two of a solo hike. I started at Broken Hills in the Coromandel and walked up to Hihi Trig Station, taking a small detour to an old dam along the way. The views were lovely, stretching across to the cliffs where I sometimes go rock climbin
Tears for a Dolphin by Peter Levy - Coromind Issue 40, 2026
It was the mid-1990s and we were steaming back from Aotea/Great Barrier. It was a beautiful hot summer day and the sea was flat and calm. Up ahead we spotted a pod of about 20 Terehu/Bottlenose dolphins. I noticed there was one dolphin that was not participating in playing and as I watched I saw she had a calf with her, a baby about a metre long. When I got closer, I saw that the baby had an old,

Cloud Wanderers Back in the Coromandel by Kate and Henri Lebedev – Coromind Issue 40, 2026
To ‘wander like a cloud’ (云游) is a term that comes from the ancient Chinese spiritual tradition of Daoism. It refers to holding steadfast to the self-cultivation path whilst travelling to seek teachers, learn skills and expose oneself to different cultures and conditions, helping to dissolve the ‘acquired’ self that’s built up layers of biases and filters that shape who we are and narrow the way w

Wondering in Waikino: The Artist's Dream and the Market's Reality by Amir Yussof - Coromind Issue 39, 2026
What is Art worth? Some create it, some buy it, some invest in it, and some ... just enjoy it. It is so multi-dimensional and almost unexplainable by linear and limited language, so rather than try to actually define it, let's explore the roles it plays in our lives because without Art, life could amount to nothing more than a monotonous, dull, existence of repetitious survival.www.coromind.n

Ross’ Ramblings - The Difference Between Marlin and Seagulls: What We Choose to Call Acceptable - Coromind Issue 39, 2026
After sharing a few tall fishing stories with my friend, I told him about the time when I was a 10-year-old kid walking along Takapuna Beach after fishing off the rocks with a mate. We hadn’t caught anything, so for fun we put a bit of bait on our hooks and dragged the line along the beach to see if we could catch a seagull. Well, did we ever get a telling off. An old fella yelled at us and told u

Ali Gustafson - Featured Artist Issue 38 - Coromind Issue 38, 2026
What a journey it is, with so much to learn. I’ve always loved painting and drawing; in high school, it was my main focus. About six years ago, I found my way back to painting when my daughter placed a canvas in front of me and told me it was time to give it another go.www.coromind.nz
From Cape Cod Shores to Coromandel Sands Series: A Washashore in Kiwiland by Hilary Emerson Lay - Coromind Issue 38, 2026

Ahuahu & Andy Series: The Real Cost of Pest-Free Islands by Andy Hopping - Coromind Issue 38, 2026
The major pest eradication on Ahuahu / Great Mercury Island in 2014 was a public/private project.

There is still to this day a f
