Original on hold while exhibiting until 3rd Feb 2025
Concept:
Resilience is the concluding piece in my upcoming exhibition entitled “Celebrating Resilience”, symbolising the strength and unity of women. It’s bursting with energy, and the layers of vibrant colours are mesmerising. The petal effect creates a striking and symbolic outline of a woman, representing individual beauty and collective power. This artwork reflects how women unite to face challenges, illustrating resilience as a force that grows stronger when shared. The mix of repurposed balloons and acrylic offcuts gives it a sustainable touch that ties perfectly into my style, celebrating the theme of resilience while honouring sustainability. Created from layers of oil, acrylic, spray paint, nitrocellulose lacquer (nail polish), and materials diverted from landfills by two Auckland companies, Resilience is both a tribute to sustainability and a celebration of women standing together as one.

My Shiny Perspective:
Women, Respect.
Junk and Disorderly Disclamer:
I am in the business of Junk, old unused items people are going to throw away. My joy as a recreator is to wave my magic shiny wand and transform them into something I am proud to send out my door. It must be said though, that there is nothing perfect in the old (sorry mum) - if you look closely, you are going to find rust, scratches or the odd ugly backside as I endeavour to do my best in a sustainable way. With upcycling, must come the understanding that these come to you flawed. Like the sediment in an old wine, or a tarnished old coin from years ago. Enjoy the old and celebrate our flaws, old or new! Thanks MSM
