FRONT ROOM GALLERY

Image
I have begun to turn my front room into a showplace for my recycled artworks so that visitors can see not only finished products, but works in progress as well as ideas formulating. Currently my work is also on sale in "Buanu Satu" in K Rd in Auckland, & in "Island" in Oneroa on Waiheke Island, & of course on my website www.martinadlington.webs.com

FLIP FLOP FISH

I found this flip-flop at Raglan. It’s mounted on a piece of core-flute from a real estate sign. There's a piece of fishing line I found at Tangimoana [= "Ocean of Tears"] on the back - so the work can be hung on the wall.
