PREVIOUS WORKS
Seraphine Pick, Jewel 2006
Combining figuration with painterly abstraction, Seraphine Pick is a painter of surreal, and often haunting, psychological landscapes that encourage speculation.
Andrew McLeod, Tuck Up 2004
"Entering the world of Andrew McLeod’s painting is akin to Alice stepping into the rabbit hole, you never know where it might take you. His paintings and digital works are full of portentous and domestic objects comfortably inhabiting the same terrain; a curious amalgam of symbols and images from sources as diverse as nursery rhymes, science textbooks, architectural sketches, New Zealand’s visual history, and his surroundings"
- Sarah Farrar, from Telecom Prospect 2007: New Art New Zealand.

Gregor Kregar, Roke 3 2000
Gregor Kregar (b1972) is a sculptor who replicates the everyday world and adds a twist; familiar objects balloon into the sublime as his use of repetition, scale, and colour forge new meanings.
Bill Hammond, The Young Designers 1989
Bill Hammond (b 1947) is known for the materialistic, aggressive, citified chaos of his paintings, with inanimate objects seeming to take on a life of their own. Hammond won the Paramount Award in the 1994 Annual Wallace Art Awards with his seminal work Watching for Buller.
