275/366 - Fly with Irn Bru!

Sonny Jim saved up Irn Bru drink cans over a period of months so that the "Tin Can Man" at Nelson market could make him this Irn Bru plane. The propellor spins freely in the breeze.

122/366 - Graphite gumleaf


A beautiful yet functional graphite sculpture by San Francisco artist Agelio Batle. A very generous gift from VG. Although it looks beautiful and is incredibly tactile, it is so much more than just a piece of art! It's a working pencil, which fits into the hand incredibly well, almost twirling around it!

54/366 - Corned beef tin bull - by Michel Tuffery


At Pataka, Porirua. I love the irony of this sculpture - a bull made from corned beef tins. . . once filled with its fellow bovines.

Edited after visiting Te Papa: Apparently Michel Tuffery also sees it as a statement about the influence of colonialism in the Pacific. Imported corned beef has replaced a lot of local Pacific foods, and as we all know, corned beef isn't exactly the healthiest of concoctions!
