During three years living and re-working a house in Hawke’s Bay, architect Ben Daly struck up a close working and personal friendship with the artist Martin Poppelwell. The way Daly tells it, Poppelwell would say something, Daly would get offended, and then he’d go away and think about it. One afternoon, Poppelwell told Daly one thing he had going for him was time. “And I thought, does that mean I’m taking too long? Or does he mean I’m slow or lazy? And then I thought: he’s right.”
