Take-aways

2005, 2006, 2007

2007 - Whitespace, Auckland.
2006 - 'Islanded: Contemporary Art from New Zealand, Singapore and Taiwan'. Adam Art Gallery, Wellington, I.C.A. Singapore. Curated by Sophie McIntyre.

Take-aways is a self portrait plaster bust which sits on a white plinth. The plinth houses a very slow grinding belt machine which rasps away at the underside of the bust. A bust will typically take one week to be ground down, whereupon it was replaced with a fresh bust. The number of busts exhibited relates to the duration, in weeks, of the show.

The work is now in the James Wallace Collection.
