Corrugations: The Art of Jeff Thomson

This exhibition examines three decades of work by Kiwi sculptor Jeff Thomson. Known as 'The iron man of Australasia', the artist's trademark style came to the fore in the early '80s when he crafted a series of mailboxes from roadside materials.

Corrugations is curated around the processes Thomson uses to make his sculptures, e.g. moulding, shaping, cutting and printing. He has both a national and international standing as a sculptor, his works include a giant gumboot, iron curtains and an iconic HQ Holden station wagon, and his overseas commissions have taken him to the South of France, Germany and Australia.

A corrugated iron clad Morris Minor, 'Chooks', French knitting and bouquets of flowers are all part of this new exhibition.
