Flight of fancy

Hi from Aotearoa, New Zealand!

Here I am smiling while at the amazing Tikitere geothermal reserve in Rotorua.

And here I am smiling inside a Hobbits home in the Shire where they filmed Lord of the Rings.

Speaking of which, here’s a new ceramic sculpture of a memory card called ‘Smiling in front of things’, (which I’ve been doing a lot of while on the trip!)

This sculpture is included in my new solo show at {Suite} Gallery opening this Wednesday August 3rd from 5.30pm to 7pm, come say hello if you happen to be in Auckland! 

The exhibition’s called En Plane Air and is a series of sculptures and drawings that playfully celebrate the joys of travel.

Here's another new ceramic work in the exhibition, titled Plane Chips.

The gallery is located at 189 Ponsonby Road, Auckland, and the exhibition is open from this Wednesday evening until August 27th.
