I have a set of dinnerware that we got as a wedding gift that is now old & worn out but we don’t have the heart to get rid of it. There are so many occasions over the years that the set has brightened our everyday lives with its simple design.
It is the small, sometimes broken and worn objects that hold together the time we have gone through with the experiences that we sometimes barely remember.
Horizons (1994) by Neil Dawson is a 15 m high & 36 m long steel sculpture at Gibbs Farm, NZ. It creates the illusion of a windblown sheet of paper resting on a hill, blending seamlessly with the landscape while challenging perception. Dawson, known for large-scale optical illusions, crafted this piece as one of the farm’s earliest commissions. Visible from the road, it remains a striking part of Gibbs Farm’s renowned $450 million art collection.
Gibbs Farm is an open-air sculpture park located 47 km north of Auckland, NZ. It contains the largest collection of large-scale outdoor sculptures in NZ. It’s the private art collection of New Zealand businessman Alan Gibbs – open to the public on select days throughout the year, usually once per month, on a bookings-essential basis.
Lots of colours & patterns in a small space. Including the painted windows & frames in green. But it works with the motley collection & you get a charming & homely feeling.
Graphic composition & colour combination, a new exciting collection by Evelin Kroon produced by Klippan for Arket.
