Never pear us apart!

Hi there, quick question- What's better than one picnic?

Answer- 2 picnics!

2 Picnics is one of 35 new ceramic sculptures I've made of shopping lists that I found while working at a supermarket. These lists read like poetry and act as anonymous portraits of the people we pass in the aisle.

I'm so pleased to be presenting this new series next week with MARS Gallery at the Aotearoa Art Fair!

If you're interested in purchasing any of the works please email andy@marsgallery.com.au
