🙂 I thought so. It was a stand-out piece in a fairly lacklustre exhibition.

He’s very clever with found objects. This was in one of the exhibitions I was involved with supporting Women’s Refuge. We sold it to a really interesting collector who has opened a sculpture park near Matakana, north of Auckland (should you be looking for interesting places to visit on any trip you may decide to make to NZ). 🙂

I thought so too. So much art either seems devoid of relevance, or beats you on the head with worthy messages. John Ferguson seems to avoid doing either.

I like this. It’s quirky. Connecting plants with oxygen, perhaps?
