Focusing on Shakespeare's nature-based philosophy, this volume analyzes nine of his plays and poems, including Venus and Adonis, Macbeth, and Twelfth Night. Each commentary applies Shakespeare's natural logic to explore themes and character motivations, offering a deeper understanding of his work. The collection highlights the interconnectedness of his writings and the philosophical underpinnings that inform his portrayal of love, morality, and human experience.

The exhibition catalogue showcases twenty-eight artworks spanning from 1972 to 2021, highlighting a unique evolution in artistic expression. It includes pieces created at Elam School of Art and newer works developed in South Taranaki. Over the decades, the artist has cultivated a philosophical understanding of art, influenced by the mythic concepts of Marcel Duchamp and the nature-focused philosophy found in Shakespeare's 1609 Sonnets, which underpins the thematic depth of all artistic endeavors.

Exploring the intersection of Shakespeare's nature-based philosophy with contemporary life and art, this collection commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Quaternary Institute. It highlights the establishment of the institute and its website, alongside the publication of a significant four-volume set on Shakespeare's sonnet philosophy. The essays reflect on the enduring relevance of Shakespeare's insights, offering a unique lens through which to appreciate both his works and their application to modern existence.
