Sculpture

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.

Objects

Her series, The Uncomfortable, playfully challenges how we perceive functionality, making us rethink the design we often take for granted.

Glass cabinet

I’ve been looking for white display cabinets, not too high, for books, glass & china – and finally found the style I had in mind. This one is 1.30 cm high & I’m planning on placing four in a row along a white wall with a four-meter long table in front.

Detail

Pretty cool with a, say, white, door while (different) handles, locks & side panel has been given an accent color.

Rugs = art

Rugs are art & each one tells a story. Vibrant & graphic, each piece is hand woven & unique. That’s what makes these rugs so special & a purchase for a lifetime.
