Statement from the artist written on the back of the artwork: "This work was inspired by "The Instigators" Team N.Z. who won the America's Cup in San Diego in 1995. I have created pages that record the 1995 team, Black Magic, America's Cup historical dates and the celebration of Sir Peter Blake's knighthood. Little did I know when I created this work in 1999 when we successfully defended the cup, that the path of history would take so many indelible twists and turns".
